Abstract

A single crystal structure determination of the complexes (2,2′-bipyridinium)[MBr4], M = Zn, Hg and Co, have been carried out. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 /c. The structures consist of alternating stacks of anions and cations. They demonstrate a supramolecularity represented by the inter anion···cation, N–H···Br and C–H···Br interactions. The N–H···Br hydrogen bonding interactions, ca. 3.306(3)–3.213(7) Å and with angles spanning the range 154–156°, tying the MBr4 anions to the cations. Intra- and interstack anion···anion interactions represented by Br···Br interactions, also exist. All these interactions lead to a 3D-network.
