2-Amino-6-nitro-1H-benzoimidazol-3-ium chloride.

ABSTRACT: In the cation of the title compound, C(7)H(7)N(4)O(2) (+)·Cl(-), the benzimidazole ring system is planar with a maximum deviation of -0.019 (3) Å. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯Cl, and N-H⋯Cl inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network. π-π contacts between benzimidazole rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.928 (1) and 3.587 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
