Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₆N₂O, contains two molecules. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring systems and the attached benzene rings are 10.6 (5) and 13.7 (5)°. The conformers are linked by bifurcated three-centre hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the diagonal of the ab plane. The packing is further stabilized by - and C-H interactions.
