Benzimidazolium hydrogen nitroterephthalate

T.-T. Pan, J.-G. Liu and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: In the title compound, C₇H₇N₂⁺·C₈H₄NO₆^-, the partially overlapped arrangement and the shorter face-to-face distance of 3.457 (4) Å indicate - stacking between parallel benzimidazolium cations, whereas the longer face-to-face distance of 3.649 (6) Å suggests normal van der Waals contacts between parallel benzene rings of neighbouring nitroterephthalate anions.
