3-Ethyl-1-[2-(1-Ethylmorpholinium-1-yl)Ethyl]-Benzimidazolium Diiodide Monohydrate

Abstract

The title compound, C<inf>17</inf>H<inf>27</inf>N<inf>3</inf>O 2+·2I-·H<inf>2</inf>O, was synthesized from 1-(2-morpholinoethyl)benzimidazole and ethyl iodide in dimethylformamide. In the molecule, the benzimidazole ring is connected to the morpholine ring by an ethylene group. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter- and intramolecular O-H⋯I, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯I interactions. © 2005 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
