Bis{4-[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)selanyl]-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-2-ium} chloride monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, 2C10H15N4Se+·Cl−·OH−, a singly protonated molecule of the organic selenide participates in hydrogen bonding with neighboring molecules, forming zigzag chains along [001]. The molecule adapts a cis bridging mode with a C—Se—C angle of 102.13 (15)°. π–π stacking interactions are observed between the closest pyrazole rings of neighboring chains [centroid–centroid distance = 3.888 (1) Å] and hydrogen bonding occurs through bridging chloride anions and hydroxide groups. Additionally, O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds are formed.
