Crystal Structure and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of 2-Ammoniumylmethyl H-Benzimidazol Chloride Monohydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C 8 H 11 N 3 2+ ·2Cl - ·H 2 O, contains three organic cations, six chloride anions and three water molecules of crystallization, which are connected by extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (37.4%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (35.5%), C⋯H/H⋯C (9.5%) and C⋯C (6.9%) interactions. © © Sen et al. 2018.
