title: 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-4-nitro-5-(1-piperidyl)-1H-imidazole.
abstract: The only specific interactions that influence the crystal packing of the title compound, C15H17ClN4O2, are weak C-H...N and C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds, even though there is a possibility of, for example, pi-pi stacking or halogen bonding. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the imidazole and benzene rings is 59.82 (5) degrees . The length of the C-N bond connecting the imidazole and piperidine fragments is correlated with the degree of pyramidalization of the piperidine N atom.
