title: 1-{2-[(2,4-Dichloro-benzyl-idene)amino]eth-yl}-3-methyl-imidazolium hexa-fluoro-phosphate.
abstract: In the title Schiff base compound, C(13)H(14)Cl(2)N(3) (+)·PF(6) (-), the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and imidazole ring in the cation is 6.10 (2)°. Inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen-bonding inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions [centoid-centroid distance = 3.7203 (12) Å] help stabilize the crystal packing.
