In the title compound, C19H13N5·3CH4O, the 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine molecule is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms of 0.185 Å. The is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak π⋯π stacking interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6675 (16) and 3.6891 (15) Å. The atoms of one of the methanol solvent molecules are disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.606(8) and 0.394(8).

2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine was prepared by the method of Addison & Burke (1981). After recrystallization from methanol, fine white needles were formed. The mother liquor was set aside for several days leading to the formation of crystals that were suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis.
All H atoms were found in difference electron maps and were subsequently refined in a riding-model approximation with C—H distances ranging from 0.95 to 0.98 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for CH and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(O) for OH. H atoms bonded to N atoms were refined independently with isotropic displacement parameters. The atoms of one methanol solvent molecule is disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.606 (8) and 0.394 (8).

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. |

The synthesis of 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine has been reported in the literature (Addison & Burke 1981) and the crystal structures of the mono and sesqihydrates of this compound have been determined (Freire et al., 2003). During our studies of benzimidazole complexes involving a recrystallization of 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine from methanol we unexpectedly form the trimethanol solvate (I).
The molecular structure of the 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine molecule is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule is essentially planar with a rms deviation of all non-hydrogen fitted atoms = 0.185. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds (see Table 1) and weak π···π stacking interactions (Fig. 2) with, centroid to centroid distances of 3.6675 (16) and 3.6891 (15)Å, between pryridine rings and benzimidazole rings of inversion related molecules.
