In the title compound, C20H28N42+·2PF6−, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the imidazole rings are 70.18 (11) and 69.83 (11)°, while the imidazole rings form a dihedral angle of 40.52 (12)°. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯F interactions link the molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). A π–π interaction with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.601 (1) Å is also observed in the crystal structure.

To a solution of 1,3-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene (2.20 g, 0.009 mol) in 30 ml of acetonitrile, 1-bromopropane (2.25 g, 0.018 mol) was added. The mixture was refluxed at 363 K for 24 h. The resultant yellow thick liquid was decanted, washed with fresh acetonitrile (2 x 5 ml) and converted directly to its hexafluorophosphate counterpart by metathesis reaction using KPF6 (3.31 g, 0.018 mol) in 40 ml of methanol/water. The white precipitates were collected, washed with fresh methanol (2 x 3 ml) to give the product as a white solid (4.02 g, 73%). M.p 418–420 K. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by slow diffusion method of the salt solution by using diethyl ether and acetonitrile at ambient temperature.
All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed gemoterically and refined as riding with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. A rotating group model was applied to the methyl group.
Previously, we have reported crystal structures of para-xylyl linked bis-imidazolium salts with propyl (Haque et al., 2011) and benzyl (Haque et al., 2010) substitutions. As part of our studies in this area, we now describe the structure of meta-xylyl linked bis-imidazolium salts with propyl substitutions (I).
The assymetric unit unit of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. All parameters in (I) are within normal ranges. The central benzene ring (C5—-C10) makes a dihedral angles of 70.18 (11)° and 69.83 (11)° with the N1—N2/C1—C3 and N3—N4/C12—C14 imidazole rings, respectively, while the two imidazole ring make an dihedral angle of 40.52 (12)° with each other.
In the crystal, weak C—H···F interactions link the molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001) (Fig. 2). A π–π interaction where Cg1···Cg1v = 3.601 (1) Å is also observed (Cg1 = C5—C10, symmetry code: (v) 1 - x, 2 - y, 2 - z).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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. |

Previously, we have reported crystal structures of para-xylyl linked bis-imidazolium salts with propyl (Haque et al., 2011) and benzyl (Haque et al., 2010) substitutions. As part of our studies in this area, we now describe the structure of meta-xylyl linked bis-imidazolium salts with propyl substitutions (I).
The assymetric unit unit of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. All parameters in (I) are within normal ranges. The central benzene ring (C5—-C10) makes a dihedral angles of 70.18 (11)° and 69.83 (11)° with the N1—N2/C1—C3 and N3—N4/C12—C14 imidazole rings, respectively, while the two imidazole ring make an dihedral angle of 40.52 (12)° with each other.
In the crystal, weak C—H···F interactions link the molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001) (Fig. 2). A π–π interaction where Cg1···Cg1v = 3.601 (1) Å is also observed (Cg1 = C5—C10, symmetry code: (v) 1 - x, 2 - y, 2 - z).
