In the title compound, C23H16N2·0.5C6H6, the benzimidazole unit [maximum deviation = 0.0258 (6) Å] and the naphthalene ring system [maximum deviation = 0.0254 (6) Å] are both essentially planar and make a dihedral angle of 61.955 (17)°. The imidazole ring makes dihedral angle of 61.73 (4)° with the phenyl ring. An intramolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, seven weak C—H⋯π interactions involving the fused ring system, the benzene solvent molecule, the imidazole phenyl rings are observed, leading to a three-dimensional architecture.

To the pure N-phenyl-o-phenylenediamine (17 mmol, 3.128 g) in ethanol (10 ml), napthaldehyde (17 mmol, 1.9 ml) and ammonium acetate (3 g) was added about 1 h by maintaining the temperature at 353 K. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 48 hrs and the completion of reaction was monitored by TLC, finally the reaction extracted by dichloromethane. The solid separated was purified by
using benzene as the Yield: 2.65 g (50%). The compound was dissolved in benzene and ethyl acetate (9:1) mixture and allowed to slow evaporation for two days, to obtain crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies.The H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 Å. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Benzimidazole based chromophores have received increasing attention due to their distinctive linear, non-linear optical properties and also due to their excellent thermal stability in guest-host systems (Cross et al., 1995). They are a component of vitamin B12 (Brown, 2005) and are related to the DNA base purine and the stimulant caffeine. Substituted benzimidazole derivatives have found commercial applications in veterinarian medicine as anthelmintic agents and in diverse human therapeutic areas as an antiulcer and antihistaminic (Spasov et al., 1999). Therefore, the preparation of benzimidazoles has gained considerable attention in recent years. Jayamoorthy et al., (2012, 2013) and Rosepriya et al., (2011) have reported closely related structures of benzimidazole derivatives. We are interested to use 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole as ligand to study its photophysical properties.
The assymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H16N2·0.5C6H6, (Fig. 1), contains a 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole molecule and a hemibenzene solvent molecule. The benzimidazole unit is essentially planar [maximum deviation of -0.0258 (6) Å for C8]. The naphthalene unit is also essentially planar [maximum deviation of -0.0254 (6) Å for C23]. The benzimidazole unit makes dihedral angle of 61.955 (17)° with the naphthalene unit. The imidazole ring makes dihedral angle of 61.73 (4)° with the phenyl group attached to N1.
An intramolecular C28—H28···N3 hydrogen bond (Fig. 1) generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The packing of the title compound, viewed along the a axis is shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, seven weak C7—H7···π interactions involving the fused benzene ring, C15—H15···π interactions involving the solvent benzene ring, C22—H22···π interaction involving the imidazole ring, C24—H24···π interaction involving the phenyl ring, C26—H26···π interaction involving the fused benzene ring, C27—H27···π interaction involving the imidazole ring, are observed, leading to a three dimensional architecture (Fig. 3, Table 1).

Benzimidazole based chromophores have received increasing attention due to their distinctive linear, non-linear optical properties and also due to their excellent thermal stability in guest-host systems (Cross et al., 1995). They are a component of vitamin B12 (Brown, 2005) and are related to the DNA base purine and the stimulant caffeine. Substituted benzimidazole derivatives have found commercial applications in veterinarian medicine as anthelmintic agents and in diverse human therapeutic areas as an antiulcer and antihistaminic (Spasov et al., 1999). Therefore, the preparation of benzimidazoles has gained considerable attention in recent years. Jayamoorthy et al., (2012, 2013) and Rosepriya et al., (2011) have reported closely related structures of benzimidazole derivatives. We are interested to use 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole as ligand to study its photophysical properties.
The assymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H16N2·0.5C6H6, (Fig. 1), contains a 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole molecule and a hemibenzene solvent molecule. The benzimidazole unit is essentially planar [maximum deviation of -0.0258 (6) Å for C8]. The naphthalene unit is also essentially planar [maximum deviation of -0.0254 (6) Å for C23]. The benzimidazole unit makes dihedral angle of 61.955 (17)° with the naphthalene unit. The imidazole ring makes dihedral angle of 61.73 (4)° with the phenyl group attached to N1.
An intramolecular C28—H28···N3 hydrogen bond (Fig. 1) generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The packing of the title compound, viewed along the a axis is shown in Fig. 2. In the crystal, seven weak C7—H7···π interactions involving the fused benzene ring, C15—H15···π interactions involving the solvent benzene ring, C22—H22···π interaction involving the imidazole ring, C24—H24···π interaction involving the phenyl ring, C26—H26···π interaction involving the fused benzene ring, C27—H27···π interaction involving the imidazole ring, are observed, leading to a three dimensional architecture (Fig. 3, Table 1).
