title: 3-(3-Cyano-benz-yl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hexa-fluoro-phosphate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(12)H(12)N(3) (+)·PF(6) (-), the hexa-fluoro-phosphate anion is disordered over two orientations with refined site occupancies of 0.8071 (17) and 0.1929 (17). The dihedral angle between the imidazole and benzene rings in the cation is 71.26 (7)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by C-H⋯F and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
