1-(Prop-2-en-1-yl)-3-[(trimethyl-sil-yl)meth-yl]benzimidazolium bromide monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(14)H(21)N(2)Si(+)·Br(-)·H(2)O, the benzimidazole ring system is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.021 (2) Å]. In the crystal, O-H⋯Br and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the ions via the O atoms of the water mol-ecules. In addition, there are π-π stacking inter-actions between the centroids of the benzene and imidazole rings of the benzimidazole ring system [centroid-centroid distances = 3.521 (3) and 3.575 (2) Å].
