Abstract
EHT calculations of the ion-pair I do not give, according to what is expected, the overall energy minimum corresponding to stabilization energy of ionic bond between the both partners. However, position of local minima at some energy curves corresponds to mutual orientation of pyridinium cation and chloride anion in the crystal. Orbital symmetry and interaction between the both mentioned ions are discussed.
