3,3′-Dibenzyl-2,2′-dimethyl-1,1′-methylenediimidazolium dipicrate

Abstract

In the title salt, C23H26N42+·2C6H2N3O7−, the dihedral angle between the imidazolium rings in the dication is 69.9 (1)°. The aromatic ring of the benzyl group is almost perpendicular to the N-heterocyclic ring that is directly connected to it [dihedral angles = 83.2 (2) and 77.3 (3)°].
