4,5-Diphenyl-2-p-tolyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium perchlorate

Abstract

In the title compound, C22H19N2+·ClO4−, the three pendant aromatic rings are twisted from the plane of the imidazolium ring by dihedral angles of 17.3 (2), 65.7 (2) and 3.4 (2)°. In the crystal structure, N—H...O and N—H...(O,O) hydrogen bonds link the ions, forming a ribbon-like structure along the a axis.
