O283-U18281600-5368http://hdl.handle.net/10451/21197The title compound, 2C(21)H(34)N(4)O(3)S(2+)center dot 4I(-)center dot 5H(2)O, was prepared exclusively as the E isomer by methylation of the corresponding N-phenylpyridin-4-amine. There are two symmetry-independent molecules in the asymmetric unit with no significant differences in bond lengths and angles. The aromatic rings are not coplanar with the pyridin-4-imine groups, as indicated by the C-N-C-C torsion angles of 47.7 (7) and 132.6 (5)degrees.. - Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal) [SFRH/BD/30689/2006]. - Intensity measurements were performed at the Unidade de Raios X, RIAIDT, University of Santiago de Compostela, SPAIN.
