In the title compound, C19H18N3+·Br−, both the allyl and cyanophenyl groups are approximately perpendicular to the central benzimidazole unit, making dihedral angles of 89.7 (2) and 85.09 (13)°, respectively. The crystal packing is dominated by C—H⋯Br interactions, with each anion interacting with five neighboring cations.

2-((2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)methyl) benzonitrile (2.48 g) synthesized according to the procedure reported by (Aakeroy, et al.(2005) was dissolved in THF (30 ml) and allyl bromide;3- bromopropene (3.7 g) was added.The solution was stirred at 50° C for two days. The resulting white solid resultant was filterered out and washed twice with acetone to get 1.94 g of (I), (yield 66.7%). Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by evaporation from methanol/water.
Positional parameters of all the H atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on the C atoms to which they are bonded, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq.
It has been almost a century since the discovery of olefin- copper coordination compounds. We are interested in obtaining stable olefin- copper(I) coordination compounds under solvothermal conditions since these compounds display novel cluster structures and interesting physical properties such as fluorescence, SHG and ferroelectric(Ye et al. (2005)). The title compound (Fig 1) was synthesized as part of this project. No unexpected bond distances and angles were found in (I). Both the allyl and cyano-phenyl groups are approximately perpendicular to the central benzimidazole moiety with dihedral angles of 89.72 (23)° and 85.09 (13)° respectively such that the phenyl ring and the olefin moeity are almost parallel to one another in a conformation similar to that found by Herrmann et al. (1997). Thus, the molecule could adopt an end-to-head or parallel packing mode to form tight stacking. However, no π-π interactions are found. Crystal packing is dominated by C—H···Br interactions with each anion cation interacting with five neighboring cations.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

It has been almost a century since the discovery of olefin- copper coordination compounds. We are interested in obtaining stable olefin- copper(I) coordination compounds under solvothermal conditions since these compounds display novel cluster structures and interesting physical properties such as fluorescence, SHG and ferroelectric(Ye et al. (2005)). The title compound (Fig 1) was synthesized as part of this project. No unexpected bond distances and angles were found in (I). Both the allyl and cyano-phenyl groups are approximately perpendicular to the central benzimidazole moiety with dihedral angles of 89.72 (23)° and 85.09 (13)° respectively such that the phenyl ring and the olefin moeity are almost parallel to one another in a conformation similar to that found by Herrmann et al. (1997). Thus, the molecule could adopt an end-to-head or parallel packing mode to form tight stacking. However, no π-π interactions are found. Crystal packing is dominated by C—H···Br interactions with each anion cation interacting with five neighboring cations.
