1,3-Bis(2-anilino-2-oxoeth­yl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride dimethyl­formamide monosolvate

In the imidazolium cation of the title compound, C₁₉H₁₉N₄O₂⁺·Cl⁻·C₃H₇NO, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the phenyl rings are 85.86 (4) and 70.26 (5)°. In the crystal, N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the imdiazo­lium cations and chloride anions into zigzag chains along [110] and together with C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which involve also the dimethyl­formamide solvent mol­ecule, form a two-dimensional network extending across the ab plane.
