Structure of N,N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridylium dichloride dihydrate

Abstract

C 12 H 14 N 2 2+ .2Cl - .2H 2 O, M r =293, triclinic, P1, α=9.696 (3), b=11.322 (4), c=7.076 (3) A, α=100.68 (4), ( P=93.40 (3), γ=107.04 (4) o , V=724 (6) A 3 , Z=2, D x =1.344 Mg m -3 , λ(Cu Kα)=1.5418 A, μ=4.4 mm -1 , F(000)=308, room temperature, R=0.052 for 2201 independent reflections. N,N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridylium dichloride (or paraquat, viologen) like mitoguazone (an anticancer drug), affects the polyamine uptake systems, a potential target in cancer chemotherapy
