title: 2-Methyl-benzimidazolium thio-cyanate.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(8)H(9)N(2) (+)·SCN(-), the nearly planar 2-methyl-benzimidazolium cation [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0123 (4) Å] is perpendicular to a mirror plane and the methyl H atoms are disordered about the mirror plane with equal occupancies. The thio-cyanate anion also lies on a mirror plane. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the components into an infinite chain along the b axis.
