In the title compound, (C(12)H(11)N(3))[SbCl(5)]·H(2)O, the Sb(III) centre is surrounded by five Cl atoms and displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The dihedral angle formed by the plane of the imidazole ring system with the pyridine ring is 4.380 (15)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H⋯Cl, O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
