1-Phenyl-2-[4-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]-1H-benzimidazole.

ABSTRACT: In the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(13)F(3)N(2), the benzimidazole unit is close to being planar [maximum deviation = 0.012?(1)?Å] and forms dihedral angles of 31.43?(7) and 61.45?(9)° with the 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl and 1-phenyl rings, respectively; the dihedral angle between these rings is 60.94?(10)°. In the crystal, C-H?F hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the c-axis direction. The CF(3) group is rotationally disordered with an occupancy ratio of 0.557?(8):0.443?(8) for the F atoms.
