Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2,6-bis[1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1 $H$ -benzo[$d$]imidazol-2-yl]pyridine 0.144-hydrate

Abstract

The title compound, C ${25}$ H ${17}$ N ${5}$ ·0.144H ${2}$ O, contains two substituted benzimidazole ring systems bridged over a pyridine ring and a disordered non-coordinating water molecule. In the crystal, O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions link the molecules into infinite chains parallel to [101]. Furthermore, π–π stacking interactions between the imidazole rings and between the pyridine and imidazole rings of adjacent molecules with inter-centroid distances of 3.6371 (4), 3.9872 (5), 3.4916 (4) and 3.6648 (4) Show more
