2,2'-(Iminodimethylene)dibenzimidazolium bis(perchlorate) methanol solvate

C.-S. Zhou, X.-Y. Huang and X.-G. Meng

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₇N₅²⁺·2ClO₄^-·CH₃OH, the dihedral angle between the two benzimidazolium ring systems is 34.6 (1)°. The anions and solvent molecules are linked to the cation by N-HO hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, the combination of N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds results in two-dimensional layers running parallel to the (010) plane; these are in turn linked by - interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
