There are two 2-phenylimidazole cations and two acetate anions in the 9H9N2+·C2H3O2−. The dihredral angles between the five- and six-membered rings are 5.50 (2) and 6.90 (2)° in the two molecules. The structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the cations and anions, resulting in chains propagating in [110].

A mixture of 2-phenylimidazole (0.5 mmol), CH3COOH (0.5 mmol) and H2O (30 mmol) was mixed. After one week, colorless crystals of (I) were yielded at room temperature (27% yield).
All H atoms on C and N atoms were positioned geometrically (N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aryl and methyl H-atoms, respectively) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl-C atoms) and 1.2Ueq(the rest of the carrier C/N atoms).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

2-Phenylimidazole has been extensively used to build supramolecular architectures (Liu et al., 2008; Yang et al., 2008). Continuing our research in this important field (Xia et al., 2009), we now report the preparation and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
There are two 2-phenylimidazole cations and two acetate anions in the asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1). In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked into chains along [110] by the N—H···O H–bonding interactions (Table 1) thus stabilizing the structure. The structure is further stabilized by rather weak non-classical interactions of the type C—H···O.
