2-Ethyl-4-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C6H11N2+·Br−, the components are linked by N—H...Br...H—N hydrogen bonds into C(8)chains of alternating cations and anions propagating in the b-axis direction; these chains are cross-linked in the c-axis direction by weak C—H...Br hydrogen bonds.
