Synthesis, structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1,3-bis[(1-octyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one

Abstract

The title molecule, C29H44N8O, adopts a conformation resembling a two-bladed fan with the octyl chains largely in fully extended conformations. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds form chains of molecules extending along the b-axis direction, which are linked by weak C—H...N hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions to generate a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (68.3%), H...N/N...H (15.7%) and H...C/C...H (10.4%) interactions.
