The title hydrated salt, C18H18N4(2+)·2Cl(-)·2H2O, sits about an inversion centre, such that the asymmetric unit contains one half-mol-ecule. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds occur between the water mol-ecules and chloride anions, and there is π-π stacking of the benzene and imidazole rings of inversion-related pairs of mol-ecules, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.704 (17) Å. ...[more]
