Abstract
2C₄H₅N₂O⁺.Cr₂O²₇⁻, Mᵣ=410∙2, monoclinic, P2₁, a=8∙(2), b=6∙132 (2), c=14∙493 (4) Å, β=94∙50 (2)°, V=708∙8 (3) ų, Z=2, Dₓ=1∙92 g cm⁻³, Mο Κα, λ=0∙71069 Å, μ=15∙5 cm⁻¹, F(000)=412, T=293 K, R=0∙0602 for 1980 unique observed reflections with F≥3σ(F). The structure consists of discrete dinegative dichromate anions hydrogen bonded to monopositive pyrazinium N-oxide cations (N―H∙∙∙O=2∙724, 2∙644 Å). A strong hydrogen bond to the bridging O atom in the Cr₂O²₇⁻ anion leads to significant lengthening of the bridging Cr―O bonds. A short C―H∙∙∙O interaction (3∙180 Å) is also observed.
