2-(4-Methyl-sulfanylphen-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium bromide
Abstract:
In the cation of the title compound, C(14)H(13)N(2)S(+)·Br(-), the essentially planar benzimidazole system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0082 Å) is substituted with a 4-methyl-sulfanylphenyl ring. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole system and the 4-methyl-sulfanylphenyl ring is 2.133 (2)°. The crystal structure is characterized by strong and highly directional inter-molecular N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds involving the bromide ion. Moreover, C-H⋯S inter-actions result in chains of mol-ecules along the c axis. The supra-molecular assembly is further stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions between the benzimidazole system and 4-methyl-sulfanylphenyl rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.477 (4) Å].

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
