The ligand 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene was prepared according to the method of Cristau et al. (2004) from imidazole and 1,4-dibromobenzene. A buffer layer of a solution (8 ml) of methanol and chloroform (1:1) was carefully layered over the chloroform solution of the ligand (0.05 mmol, 6 ml). Then a methanol solution of Mn(SiF6)2 (0.05 mmol, 6 ml) was layered over the buffer layer. Colourless plates of (I) appeared at the boundary between methanol and chloroform after two weeks at room temperature.
The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined in the riding-model approximation, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq.
The N-bound H atom was located in a difference map and its position was freely refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) was obtained unexpectedly as the product of an attempted synthesis of a network complex of Mn(IV) using methanol and chloroform as the solvent. The dihedral angle between the 1H-imidazol-3-ium ring and the benzene ring of the cation is 27.80 (11)°.
An N—H···F hydrogen bond (Table 1) helps to establish the packing (Fig. 2), as well as electrostatic interactions.
