1,1′‐(p‐Phenylene)bis(1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium) hexafluoridosilicate(IV)

In the title compound, C12H12N42+·SiF62−, both the dication and the dianion are centrosymmetric. The dihedral angle between the 1H-imidazol-3-ium ring and the benzene ring is 27.80 (11)°. An N—H⋯F hydrogen bond helps to establish the packing.
