Pyridinium refers to the cation [C 5 H 5 NH] +. It is the conjugate acid of pyridine . Many related cations are known involving substituted pyridines, e.g. picolines, lutidines, collidines.
Pyridine is a Lewis base, donating its pair of electrons to a Lewis acid. Its Lewis base properties are discussed in the ECW model. Its relative donor strength toward a series of acids, versus other Lewis bases, can be illustrated by C-B plots.
The position of equilibrium varies from base to base when a weak base reacts with water. The further to the left it is, the weaker the base. [5] When there is a hydrogen ion gradient between two sides of the biological membrane, the concentration of some weak bases are focused on only one side of the membrane. [6]
Pyridinium chlorochromate in a vial. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a yellow-orange salt with the formula [C 5 H 5 NH] + [CrO 3 Cl] −. It is a reagent in organic synthesis used primarily for oxidation of alcohols to form carbonyls. A variety of related compounds are known with similar reactivity.
Pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) is a colourless solid salt of pyridine and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Uses. In organic synthesis, PPTS is used as a weakly acidic ...
Pyridine is a weak pi-acceptor ligand. Trends in the M-N distances for complexes of the type [MCl 2 (py) 4] 2+ reveal an anticorrelation with d-electron count. [2] Few low-valent metal complexes of pyridines are known. The role of pyridine as a Lewis base extends also to main group chemistry.

In its chemical structure and functions, the Cornforth reagent is closely related to other pyridinium salts of hexavalent chromium oxide, such as pyridinium chlorochromate [PyH][CrO 3 Cl] and to pyridine complexes such as the Collins reagent, CrO 3 ·2Py in dichloromethane and the Sarret reagent, CrO 3 ·2Py in pyridine.
