2-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-benzimidazole

In the title compound, C14H9F3N2, the mean planes of the benzimidazole ring system and the trifluoromethyl-substituted benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 30.1 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains along [010]. Weak C—H...F hydrogen bonds and a weak C—H.....

Description
Summary:In the title compound, C14H9F3N2, the mean planes of the benzimidazole ring system and the trifluoromethyl-substituted benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 30.1 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains along [010]. Weak C—H...F hydrogen bonds and a weak C—H...π interaction connect the chains into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
