Abstract:
Crystals of the title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)O(4), were obtained accidentally by the hydro-thermal reaction of 5-[(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]isophthalic acid with manganese chloride tetra-hydrate in the presence of KOH as alkaline reagent for the deprotonation. A triclinic polymorph of this structure has been reported previously from a similar reaction [Cheng (2011 ▶). Acta Cryst. E67, o3299]. The benzimidazole ring system is almost planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.020 (4) Å. The benzimidazole unit and benzene ring are inclined at a dihedral angle of 68.17 (4)°, reflecting the axial rotation of the flexible benzimidazolyl arm. In the crystal, pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules into inversion dimers. O-H⋯N contacts connect these dimers into zigzag chains along [010].

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...

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
