4-Cyano-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide.
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(7)H(7)N(2) (+)·I(-), the cations form inversion-related dimers via weak pairwise C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the dimers, the pyridinium rings are parallel to one another with their mean planes separated by a normal distance of ca 0.28 Å. Weak C-H⋯N inter-actions between adjacent dimers generate a layer lying parallel to (10-1). The remaining H atoms form C-H⋯I inter-actions, which link the layers into a three-dimensional structure.
