2-[(1H-Benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]phenol benzene hemisolvate

Abstract

In the title solvate, C14H12N2O-0.5C6H6, the complete benzene molecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzimidazole moiety and the phenol substituent is 75.28(3)°. In the crystal, O - HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into parallel chains propagating along [100]. The molecules are further connected by C - Hπ interactions. © Rivera et al. 2014.
