4‐Phenylpyridinium betaine of squaric acid
2005
The title compound, 4-phenylpyridinium-3-squarate, C15H9NO3, exhibits an interplanar angle between the pyridinium and squarate rings of 0.6 (1)°. It displays a dipolar electronic ground-state structure, with a positively charged pyridinium fragment and a negatively charged squarate moiety. In the molecule, the two aromatic rings are twisted by 31.6 (1)°. The bond lengths within the squarate system represent average values for the two possible resonance structures, with a central typical carbonyl bond [1.203 (2) A] flanked by two longer `semicarbonyl' bonds of lengths 1.228 (2) and 1.221 (2) A.
