2-(Furan-2-yl)-1,3-bis(furan-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium chloride monohydrate

Abstract

The title hydrated salt, C21H17N2O3+·Cl−·H2O, exhibits disorder in one of the furan rings. The major and minor components have a refined occupancy ratio of 0.844 (19):0.156 (19). The structure displays intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the water molecule and the chloride anion. Close intermolecular C—H...Cl and C—H...(furan ring) interactions complete the hydrogen bonding.
