The title compound, C(15)H(13)N(4) (+)·ClO(4) (-), comprises a nonplanar 1-(2-cyano-ethyl)-2-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H,3H-benzimidazol-3-ium cation [dihedral angle between the imidazole and pyridine rings = 22.5 (8)°] and a perchlorate anion. The cation is formed by protonation of the N atom of the benzimidazole ring. A charged N-H⋯O hydrogen bond connects the anion and cation, and inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions contribute to the crystal packing. ...[more]
