1,4-Bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene dimethyl-formamide disolvate.

ABSTRACT: The aromatic mol-ecule of the title compound, C(20)H(14)N(4)·2C(3)H(7)NO, occupies a special position on an inversion center. The benzimidazole unit (planar to within 0.008 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 9.1 (2)° with the central benzene ring. The benzimidazole H atom participates in a hydrogen bond with the dimethyl-formamide solvent molecule, thus giving rise to the title 1:2 aggregate. These aggregates are further linked in the crystal structure by aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 6.356 (2) Å].
