title: 2,4-Bis[(3-allyl-imidazolium-1-yl)meth-yl]mesitylene bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate).
abstract: In the title mol-ecular salt, C(23)H(30)N(4) (2+)·2PF(6) (-), the central benzene ring of the cation makes dihedral angles of 89.80 (8) and 85.23 (7)° with the pendant imidazole rings. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by numerous C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, thereby forming a three-dimensional network.
