title: 1,3-Bis(2-anilino-2-oxoeth-yl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride dimethyl-formamide monosolvate.
abstract: In the imidazolium cation of the title compound, C19H19N4O2(+)·Cl(-)·C3H7NO, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the phenyl rings are 85.86 (4) and 70.26 (5)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the imdiazo-lium cations and chloride anions into zigzag chains along [110] and together with C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which involve also the dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule, form a two-dimensional network extending across the ab plane.
