Abstract:
The main mol-ecule of the title compound, C(45)H(30)N(6)·CH(3)OH, has a non-planar core: the dihedral angles between the benzimidazole rings and the central benzene ring are 20.19 (10), 34.57 (8), and 44.59 (8)°, while the dihedral angles between the peripheral phenyl rings and the attached benzimidazole rings are 84.57 (7), 62.71 (6) and 51.73 (6)°. The tri-substituted benzene mol-ecule is connected to the methanol solvent mol-ecule through an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming a 1:1 solvate. In the crystal structure, no significant π-π inter-actions are present, and the mol-ecules are associated through weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O(methanol) contacts.

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...
