3,3′-[1,2-Phenyl­enebis(methyl­ene)]bis­(1-ethyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-ium) bis­(hexa­flourophosphate)

In the title compound, C(26)H(28)N(4) (2+)·2PF(6) (−), the complete cation is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis. The benz­imidazole ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0207 Å) and makes dihedral angles of 50.12 (2)° with its symmetry-related component and 65.81 (2)° with the central benzene ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯F inter­actions. A π–π inter­action with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.530 (1) Å is observed. Four F atoms of the hexa­fluoro­phosphate anion are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.889 (6):0.111 (6) ratio.
