In the title 5H9N2+·C6H5O3S−·C5H8N2, the two 1,2-dimethylimidazole rings exist as partially protonated moieties in the as a two-part disordered unit wherein the acidic hydrogen atom is bound to each ring. The two imidazolium cations share a strong hydrogen bond via the acidic hydrogen atom, which is disordered between two positions, being bonded to the first versus second imidazole ring in a 0.33 (2) to 0.67 (2) ratio. A benzene sulfonate anion is present for charge balance and interacts with the aromatic H atoms on both imidazole rings as well as with the methyl groups on the rings.

Structure description
The title compound (Fig. 1) crystallizes with two 1,2-dimethylimidazolium cations in the The two imidazole rings are each partially protonated, wherein the acidic hydrogen atom is bound between the two N atoms of the aromatic ring in a 0.33 (2) to 0.67 (2) ratio. Hydrogen bonding appears to the dominant intermolecular interaction with each molecule or ion exhibiting interactions (Fig. 2). For instance, the shortest hydrogen bonds are N—H⋯N links between the imidazolium rings with H⋯N = 1.83 (8) and 1.90 (8) Å. This bonding arises from the disordered hydrogen atom, which appears to be shared between the two rings. Further, cation–anion C—H⋯O interactions occur between the aromatic H atoms and the sulfonate O atoms. Finally, there are anion–anion interactions wherein O atoms of the sulfonate group interact with hydrogens on the benzene rings. A summary of the distances for the hydrogen bonds is found in Table 1.

Synthesis and crystallization
The reaction was conducted in a Biotage Initiator+ microwave reactor. To a microwave vial was added a stir bar as well as 7.5 mmol (721 mg) of 1,2 dimethylimidazole and 7.5 mmol (901 μL) of benzenesulfonyl fluoride. The vial was sealed and placed into the microwave reactor. The reaction was performed at 105°C for 5 minutes and 38 s with very high microwave absorption, stirring at 600 rpm. Once finished and cooled to room temperature, the solution was transferred to an oven-dried amber scintillation vial and sealed with parafilm. After one week, crystals suitable for diffraction were found growing in the vial.
A proposed mechanism leading to the formation of the crystallized product reported herein is shown in Fig. 3.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. H atoms attached to carbon atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms. C—H bond distances were constrained to 0.95 Å for aromatic and alkene C—H moieties, and to 0.98 Å for CH3 moieties, respectively. The N—H proton hydrogen bonding between atoms N1 and N3 was found to be disordered and was refined as split between two positions. The H atoms were assigned as bonded to a planar (sp2 hybridized) N atom, respectively with fixed bond angles and torsion angles, but the N—H bond distances were allowed to refine to account for asymmetry induced by charge and hydrogen bonding (AFIX 44 command). N—H distances refined to 0.83 (5) for N1—H1 and to 0.89 (2) for N3—H3, occupancies refined to 0.33 (2) for H1 and 0.67 (2) for H3. Methyl CH3 were allowed to rotate but not to tip to best fit the experimental electron density. Uiso(H) values were set to a multiple of Ueq(C/N) with 1.5 for CH3 and 1.2 for C—H and NH+, respectively. |
