In the title compound, C13H8ClFN2, the dihedral angle between the plane of the benzimidazole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å) and the benzene ring is 26.90 (8)°. The F atom at the meta position of the benzene ring is disordered over two sites in a 0.843 (4):0.157 (4) ratio. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming infinite C(4) chains propagating along [010]. In addition, weak C—H⋯π and π–π interactions [shortest centroid–centroid separation = 3.6838 (12) Å] are observed, which link the chains into a three-dimensional network.
Keywords: crystal structure; benzimidazole; fluorine-containing compound; hydrogen bonding; C—H⋯π interactions; π–π interactions.

The title compound was synthesized by refluxing 3-fluoro, 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (20 mmol, 0.28 g) and o-phenyldiamine (20 mmol, 0.22 g) in benzene (3.0 ml) for 6 hrs on a water bath. The reaction mixture was cooled. The solid separated, was filtered and dried (yield = 0.36 g (76%) and M.P. = 526 K). Yellow blocks were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution.
The H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in a riding model approximation with C—H= 0.93 Å, N—H=0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N/C).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Benzimidazole and their derivatives are known to exhibit a wide variety of pharmacological properties. Benzimidazole is an important pharmacophore and a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry encompassing a diverse range of biological activities such as antibacterial (Ozden et al., 2004), anticancer (Easmon et al., 2001), anti-HIV and anti-inflammatory (Ansari & Lal 2009; Thakurdesai et al., 2007). Benzimidazole and its derivatives can also be used as ligands in the field of coordination Chemistry. In addition, compounds which contain fluorine have special bioactivity (Ulrich, 2004). Herein, we report the crystal structure of the title compound. The molecular structure of the title compound C13H8ClFN2 is shown in Fig. 1. It is the fluoro-analogue of our previously reported compounds (Fathima et al., 2013; Krishnamurthy et al., 2013; Krishnamurthy & Begum., 2014). The benzimidazole system is essentially planar, with a dihedral angle of 2.251 (6)° between the planes of the benzene ring and its fused imidazole ring. The whole molecule is nonplanar; the dihedral angle between the benzimidazole ring and the benzene ring is 26.898 (1)°. This value is slightly lower than that observed in related compounds (Jian et al., 2006; Krishnamurthy & Begum, 2014). It was observed that the fluorine atom at the meta position is disordered over two sites, the major occupancy refining to 0.843 (4) and minor occupancy is 0.157 (4). In fact, the C—F bond length associated with the major occupancy fluorine is almost close to the standard C—F bond length (1.345 Å) while the minor occupancy fluorine has a bond length lying between normal value of C—H and C—F bond (Zhang et al., 1998). This type of positional disorder is common in many organic compounds containing fluorine in either the ortho or meta position (Chopra et al., 2008; Nayak et al., 2011). In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by intermolecular N2—H2···N1 hydrogen bonds to form infinite chains parallel to [010] (Table. 1; Fig. 2). In addition, a weak C—H···π interaction of the type C3—H3···Cg (Cg being the centroid of the benzimidazole ring) link chains into layers parallel to [001] and π–π stacking interactions with a centroid—centroid distance of 3.684 (10) Å connect these layers into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 3).
