title: 2-Phenyl-imidazolium acetate.
abstract: There are two 2-phenyl-imidazole cations and two acetate anions in the asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt, C(9)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(2)H(3)O(2) (-). The dihredral angles between the five- and six-membered rings are 5.50 (2) and 6.90 (2)° in the two molecules. The structure is stabilized by N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the cations and anions, resulting in chains propagating in [110].
