Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a bis-benzimidazole compound, revealing its unique molecular conformation and porous crystal packing.
Supporting Evidence
- The molecule adopts a trans conformation with specific dihedral angles.
- Porous crystal packing exhibits voids of 85 Å3.
- No classical intermolecular interactions were observed.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a special molecule made of two benzimidazole parts, and they found out how it is shaped and packed together in crystals.
Methodology
Single crystals were grown from an ethanol solution, and the structure was determined using X-ray diffraction.
