2-Benzoyl-1H-benzimidazole
Abstract
In the title compound, C14H10N2O, the benzoyl ring and benzimidazole ring system are aligned at a dihedral angle of 50.2 (2)°. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds between adjacent imidazole groups generate supramolecular C(4) chains running along the b axis.
