Abstract
The title compound [1-(trimethylsilyl)imidazolium bromide, C6H13N2Si+. Br-] exhibits a 'tetracoordinated' Si centre with bond angles deviatin g from ideal tetrahedral geometry. The Si-N bond is the longest among those found in Me3Si-N-imidazole fragments in the literature. The prot onated N atom forms a hydrogen bond to the Br- ion, and one further co ntact less than 3 Angstrom from the Br- ion to an aromatic H atom can be found.
