2-p-Tolyl-1-p-tolyl-methyl-1H-benzimidazole.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(22)H(20)N(2), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in which the planar benzimidazole ring systems are oriented with respect to the adjacent tolyl rings at dihedral angles of 47.08?(8)/76.85?(8) and 39.52?(9)/87.49?(9)°, while the dihedral angles between the tolyl rings are 73.99?(3) and 81.51?(9)°. In the crystal structure, pairs of inter-molecular C-H?N inter-actions link one of the asymmetric mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers through R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs.
