Abstract
In the title compound, (C12H11N3)[BiCl5]·H2O, the BiIII atom is coordinated by five chloride anions in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The planar imidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.012 (3) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 6.08 (5)° with respect to the protonated pyridine ring. An O—H⋯Cl interaction links the water molecule to the dianion. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
