2-(3,5-Dimethylbenzene)-1-ferrocenylmethyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole

“…forms dihedral angles of 88.61 (8)° and 42.15 (6)° with the substituted C 5 H 4 and 3,4-dimethyl substituted benzene rings, respectively. The former is similar to the 71.48 (10)° observed in a related cationic derivative (Gallagher et al, 2007) and 84.37 (9)° in the neutral 3-chlorophenyl derivative (Gallagher, Hanlon, Howarth & Thomas, 2001). Similar data of 78.07 (8)° and 73.86 (8)° are observed in both a methoxy and dimethoxy derivative ).…”

Intermolecular interactions in two (ferrocenylmethyl)benzimidazoles incorporating the 4-MeOC6H4and 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3groups: analysis of MeO—C—C distortions from ideal 120° geometry

“…chlorophenyl)benzimidazole, (III) (Gallagher, Hanlon et al, 2001), are 1.6467 (10) and 1.6487 (11) A Ê , and 179.12 (7) , and for 2-(ferrocenyl)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid, (IV) (Gallagher, Hudson & Manning, 2001), 1.6435 (10) and 1.656 (3) A Ê , and 178.42 (11) . These results highlight the similarity in the ferrocenyl bond lengths and angles in (I), (II) and (III).…”
