2-Methyl-5,6-dinitro-benzimidazolium chloride.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(8)H(7)N(4)O(4) (+)·Cl(-), the cation possesses twofold symmetry, with the twofold axis bis-ecting the 2-methyl-5,6-dinitro-benzimidazolium cation. The methyl H atoms are disordered about this twofold axis and were assigned equal half-occupancies. The chloride anion also lies on a twofold axis. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the ions to form a three-dimensional network.
