2-(Chloro-meth-yl)benzimidazolium chloride.

ABSTRACT: The structure of title compound, C(8)H(8)ClN(2) (+)·Cl(-), comprises discrete ions which are inter-connected by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, leading to a neutral one-dimensional network in [001]. This hydrogen bonding appears to complement π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances 3.768 (2) and 3.551 (2) Å] and helps to stabilize the structure further.
