Abstract
The azomethine ylide moieties of no(7,7-dimethyl-2,5-di-p-tolyl-3,4-di azabicyclo[4. 1.0]hepta-2,4-dien-3-ium-3-yl)methanide, C24H22N4, and z acyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-ium-1-yl)dicyanomethanide, C22H17N3O, show norm al bond distances and angles in comparison with related structures rep orted previously. The dipolar N-C distances of 1.430(4) and 1.401(3)An gstrom are appreciably shortened compared with the C-N+ bond lengths [ 1.485(9)Angstrom] found in N-substituted pyridinium compounds, which i s consistent with previous observations. Both title compounds pack in such a way that the ylide dipoles are arranged above each other but po inting in opposite directions.
