1,1′-(Butane-1,4-diyl)bis(imidazolium) bis(perchlorate)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H16N42+·2ClO4−, consists of half of a centrosymmetric 1,1′‐(butane‐1,4‐diyl)bis(imidazolium) cation and one perchlorate anion. These ions are linked to each other by intermolecular bifurcated N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form infinite chains, which are further connected to each other by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds to build up a three‐dimensional network.
