title: Bis(1-acetonylpyridinium) pyridinium hexaiodobismuth(III).
abstract: The crystal structure of the title complex, (C(8)H(10)N)(2)(C(5)H(6)N)[BiI(6)], contains discrete [BiI(6)](3-) anions, and (HNC(5)H(5))(+) and (CH(3)COCH(2)NC(5)H(5))(+) cations separated by normal van der Waals contacts. The [BiI(6)](3-) anion has the Bi atom on an inversion centre. The (HNC(5)H(5))(+) cation also lies about an inversion centre and is disordered. The (CH(3)COCH(2)NC(5)H(5))(+) cation lies in a general position.
