The title compound C 8 H 8 N 2 Se, is the product of the reaction of 2-chloro-1-methyl­benzimidazole with sodium hydro­selenide. The mol­ecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.041 Å) owing to the presence of the long chain of conjugated bonds (Se=C—NMe—C=C—C=C—C=C—NH). The C=Se bond length [1.838 (2) Å] corresponds well to those found in the close analogs and indicates its pronounced double-bond character. In the crystal, mol­ecules form helicoidal chains along the b axis by means of N—H⋯Se hydrogen bonds.

In the cation of the title salt, the central thiazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal N-H ••• Br hydrogen bonds link the components into a bi-dimensional network with the cations and anions stacked parallel to plane (101). The molecular structure shows several positional disorders over-CF 3 and thiazolidine fragments and these were modeled. The weak intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure are mainly const Hirshfeld surface analysis were used to verify the contributions of the different intermolecular interactions.

In the two isotypic title compounds, C14H8BrCl2N3O2, (I), and C14H8Cl3N3O2, (II), the substitution of one of the phenyl rings is different [Br for (I) and Cl for (II)]. Aromatic rings form dihedral angles of 60.9 (2) and 64.1 (2)°, respectively. Molecules are linked through weak X...Cl contacts [X = Br for (I) and Cl for (II)], C—H...Cl and C—Cl...π interactions into sheets parallel to the ab plane. Additional van der Waals interactions consolidate the three-dimensional packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structures indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing for (I) are from C...H/H...C (16.1%), O...H/H...O (13.1%), Cl...H/H...Cl (12.7%), H...H (11.4%), Br...H/H...Br (8.9%), N...H/H...N (6.9%) and Cl...C/C...Cl (6.6%) interactions, and for (II), from Cl...H / H...Cl (21.9%), C...H/H...C (15.3%), O...H/H...O (13.4%), H...H (11.5%), Cl...C/C...Cl (8.3%), N...H/H...N (7.0%) and Cl...Cl (5.9%) interactions. The crystal of (I) studied was refined as an inversion twin, the ratio of components being 0.9917 (12):0.0083 (12).
