1,3-Dimethoxy-2-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide

Abstract

The title molecular salt, C6H11N2O2+·C2F6NO4S2−, was obtained by the methylation of 1-hydroxy-2-methylimidazole 3-oxide and subsequent ion metathesis. In the crystal, C—H...O=S hydrogen bonds and O...π interactions are observed.
