Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1,1′-[oxybis(ethane-2,1-di­yl)]bis­(2-methyl­sulfanyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole)

Abstract

In the title compound, the terminal benzimidazole moieties are inclined to one another by about 68°. In the crystal, tetra­molecular strands are generated by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions and are linked by C—H⋯π(ring) and π-stacking inter­actions.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₀H₂₂N₄OS₂, consists of two independent mol­ecules, one of which is disordered. In each mol­ecule, the mean planes of the terminal benzimidazole moieties are inclined to one another by about 68°. In the crystal, tetra­molecular strands are generated by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions and are linked by C—H⋯π(ring) and π-stacking inter­actions.
