Abstract

The diquinoline derivative 12 was found to yield the diquinolinium dibromide 13 trihydrate on crystallisation from 2-bromoethanol. X-Ray crystallography revealed that the diquinolinium dications pack as parallel (and anti-parallel) stacks, with the bromide ions and water molecules occupying inter-stack channels. The interplay of aromatic offset face-face, N+-H ⋅s O, bromide ⋅s H-O, C-H ⋅s bromide and bromine ⋅s bromide interactions determines this solid-state structure.
