In the title salt, C18H19N4O+·PF6−, the dihedral angle between the benzimidazolium and benzimidazole ring systems is 16.24 (2)°. In the cation, a π–π interaction is observed between the imidazolium ring and the benzene ring of the benzimidazole ring system [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5713 (11) Å]. The PF6− ion is disordered over two sites, with occupancies of 0.895 (2) and 0.105 (2). In the pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the cations, forming centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are linked via π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5606 (11) Å]. In addition, C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds are observed.

The title compound was prepared according to the reported procedure of Zeng et al.. (2008). Colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by recrystallization from acetonitrile and ethyl ether.
The PF6- ion is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.895 (2) and 0.105 (2). The Uij values of atom pairs F1/F1', F2/F2', F3/F3, F4/F4', F5/F5' and F6/F6' were constrained to be equal. The corresponding distances in the two disorder components were restrained to be the same. Atom H1N was located in a difference map and refined freely. All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C–H = 0.95–0.99 Å] and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Benzimidazole derivatives are an important class of heterocycles that are present in a number of biologically active compounds. These derivatives are also used as cyclic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors (Murru et al., 2009). A benzimidazole N-donor dinuclear palladacycle complex is used as an efficient Suzuki coupling catalyst (Pal et al., 2007).
Bond lengths and angles in the ionic pairs (Fig. 1) are within normal ranges. The benzimidazolium and benzimidazole ring systems make a dihedral angle of 16.24 (2)°. In the cation, a π–π interaction is observed between N1/C1/C6/N2C7 and C12-C17 rings, with the ring centroids being separated by 3.5713 (11) Å.

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. |

Benzimidazole derivatives are an important class of heterocycles that are present in a number of biologically active compounds. These derivatives are also used as cyclic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors (Murru et al., 2009). A benzimidazole N-donor dinuclear palladacycle complex is used as an efficient Suzuki coupling catalyst (Pal et al., 2007).
Bond lengths and angles in the ionic pairs (Fig. 1) are within normal ranges. The benzimidazolium and benzimidazole ring systems make a dihedral angle of 16.24 (2)°. In the cation, a π–π interaction is observed between N1/C1/C6/N2C7 and C12-C17 rings, with the ring centroids being separated by 3.5713 (11) Å.
In the crystal structure, pairs of N—H···N hydrogen bonds link cations to form centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are linked via π–π interactions between the N1/C1/C6/N2C7 ring at (x, y, z) and the C12-C17 ring at (1-x, y-1/2, 1/2-z), with their centroids separated by 3.5606 (11) Å. In addition, C—H···F hydrogen bonds are observed (Table 1).
