Abstract:
In the title compound, C13H8ClFN2, the dihedral angle between the plane of the benzimidazole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å) and the benzene ring is 26.90 (8)°. The F atom at the meta position of the benzene ring is disordered over two sites in a 0.843 (4):0.157 (4) ratio. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming infinite C(4) chains propagating along [010]. In addition, weak C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [shortest centroid-centroid separation = 3.6838 (12) Å] are observed, which link the chains into a three-dimensional network.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
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...
