title: 3-(2-Bromo-benz-yl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(11)H(12)BrN(2) (+)·Br(-), the imidazole and phenyl rings are nearly perpendicular, making a dihedral angle of 87.71 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and inversion-related mol-ecules are linked through π-π inter-actions between the imidazole ring systems [centroid-centroid distance = 3.472 (6) Å].
