We successfully prepared and crystallographically characterized the first intermolecular charge-transfer (CT)-based vapochromic compound, (EV)(H3O) 2 [Fe(CN)(6)] (1-Wet, EV2+: 1,1'-diethyl-4,4'-bipyridine-1,1'-diium), an ethyl viologen-containing CT salt. 1-Wet, which is purple in color, is transformed into a brown powder (1-Dry) upon exposure to methanol vapor, drying over silica gel, or heating; 1-Dry returns to 1-Wet upon exposure to water vapor. These color changes are induced by hydration and dehydration, and gravimetric analyses suggest that 1-Dry is the dehydrated form of 1-Wet, namely, (EV)(H)(2)[Fe(CN)(6)]. Interestingly, desorption of water molecules from the oxonium ions in 1-Wet produces isolated protons (H+) that remain in 1-Dry as counter cations. Powder X-ray crystal structure analysis of 1-Dry reveals the presence of very short contacts between the nitrogen atoms of adjacent [Fe(CN)(6)](4-) anions in the crystal. The isolated protons are trapped between the nitrogen atoms of cyanido ligands to form very short N center dot center dot center dot H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds. A detailed comparison of the crystal structures of 1-Wet and 1-Dry reveals that hydration and dehydration induce changes in crystal packing and intermolecular CT interactions, resulting in reversible color changes.
