1. Introduction
The chemistry ofN-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has becomeemerged field after the crystal structure of free 1,3-diada-mantyl imidazol-2-ylidene was first reported in 1991 byArduengo III et al. [1–3]. The chemical durability of NHCencouraged the chemist to study their reactivity with inor-ganic and organic compounds. The synthesis of NHCnormally had been done by removal of C-2 proton ofimidazolium salt with a suitable base. Many examples ofimidazolium salts were synthesized and their correspondingNHC and NHC-metal compounds were studied [4, 5]. Theinteresting criteria of the imidazole are that, by tuningthe substitution on nitrogen center at the imidazole ring,different types of functionalized imidazolium salts havebeen synthesized [6–9]. Herein, the modified synthesis of1-Methyl-3-(2-pyridyl)imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (1)and its crystal structure have been discussed.
2. Materials and Methods
A mixture 2-chloropyridine (1.35 g, 10mmole) and 1-meth-ylimidazole (0.821 g, 10mmole) were heated at 150∘C for 20hours. To this mixture saturated aqueous solution of KPF
6
was added, while the mixture was hot and it results in therapid precipitation of white color substance. The obtained
white color precipitate was filtrated off and dried in vacuum.The colorless block type crystals of (MeIMPy)(PF
6) were
obtained after one week from methanolic solution. Yield(based on 1-methylimidazole): 1.05 g, 34%. Anal. Calcd. forC9H10N3F3P (305.17): C, 35.26; H, 3.42; N, 13.48. Found: C,

2-Chloropyridine (99.0%), 1-methylimidazole (99.0%),and KPF
6(98.0%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and
used as received. 1H NMR spectra were obtained on aJEOL-JNM LAMBDA 400 model spectrometer operating at400MHz.The spectrawere recorded inCD

the chemical shifts were referenced with respect to TMS.Crystal was coated with light hydrocarbon oil and

The data integration and reduction wereprocessed with SAINT software [10]. An absorptioncorrection was applied [11]. Structure was solved by thedirect method using SHELXS-97 and was refined on F2 byfull-matrix least-squares technique using the SHELXL-97software package [12].

3. Results and Discussion
1-Methyl-3-(2-pyridyl)imidazolium hexafluorophosphate(MeIMPy)(PF
6) has been synthesized by slight modification
from reported procedure [13]. The 2-chloropyridine and1-methylimidazole were heated for 20 hours with neat con-dition. During the course of reaction, the reaction mixtureslowly turned into brown viscous liquid. When the reactionmixture was in hot condition, saturated solution of KPF
6
was added. Immediately, white color precipitate appeared.The precipitates were filtered and dried in high vacuum.The precipitates were filtered and dried in high vacuum(Scheme 1).1H-NMR of 1-Methyl-3-(2-pyridyl)imidazolium hexa-
fluorophosphate (MeIMPy)(PF6) has been recorded in deu-
terated methanol (CD3OD). The spectra of (MeIMPy)(PF
6)
show resonance peak at 9.26 ppm for –CH of 2-position ofimidazolium ring and 3.93 ppm for –CH
3. The NMR spectral
analysis matches the reported NMR values (recorded inCD3CN) and supports the molecular structure of (MeIMPy)
(PF6).Single crystals of 1 were grown in methanolic solution
at room temperature and a suitable crystal was subjectedto the X-ray structural analysis. The crystal data revealsthat the compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic systemand centrosymmetric space group P2(1)/c. The solid statestructure of 1 consists of one cation and one anion (Figure 1).The unit cell contains four of each cation and anion. Theimportant bond lengths and bond angles are shown inTables 2 and 3.
In the anion unit, the bond distances between phospho-rous and fluorine atom are shown in the range of 1.590(19) Åto 1.608(17) Å and the bond angles suggest that the anion unitis almost perfect octahedron (Table 2). From the cation unit,the bond angle between (N1-C1-N2 108.3(2)∘) is similar to atypical bond angle of imidazolium unit and it is in plane.

The pyridyl ring has slightly twisted from plane of imida-zolium moiety.
The solid state structure of 1 shows that the cationsand anions are connected through intermolecular CH⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Ftype hydrogen bond interaction (Table 4). Each cation unitis hydrogen bonded to five separate anion units (Figure 2).CH⋅ ⋅ ⋅ F interaction between C2 position of five memberedimidazolium rings and F4, C8 position of pyridyl moietyand F1 results in the 1D supramolecular polymer chains(Figures 3 and 4).
