Abstract
The title compound, C18H23N2Si+·Cl−·H2O, was synthesized from 1-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]benzimidazole and benzyl chloride in dimethylformamide. The benzimidazole ring system is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.022 (2) Å, and makes an angle of 74.80 (12)° with the phenyl ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions between symmetry-related molecules together with π–π stacking interactions between the imidazolium and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5690 (15) Å] and between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7223 (14) Å].
