title: 1-{2-[(4-Hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-benzyl-idene)amino]eth-yl}-3-methylimid-azolium hexa-fluoro-phosphate.
abstract: In the title Schiff base salt, C(14)H(18)N(3)O(2) (+)·PF(6) (-), the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic and imidazole rings is 24.84 (8)°. The mol-ecular structure exhibits an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are connected via O-H⋯N and O-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, resulting in a trifurcated interaction for the phenolic H atom.
