Abstract

The title compound, C<inf>16</inf>H<inf>12</inf>N<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2<inf>1</inf>/n with Z = 4, a = 8.950 (5) Å, b = 9.141 (5) Å, c = 17.429 (5) Å and β = 93.638 (5)°. The benzimidazole ring is essentially planar. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C - H⋯N and C - H⋯π contacts. © TÜBİTAK.
