Abstract

The crystal packing of the title salt, C6H11N2O(+)·I3 (-), can be described as consisting of alternating layers of cations and anions parallel to the (100) plane along the a-axis direction. The components are linked by O-H⋯I, C-H⋯I and C-H⋯O interactions, generating a three-dimensional network. The O atom deviates from the imidazol ring by 0.896 (2) Å.
