Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface of bis-(acetato-κ² <i>O</i>,<i>O</i>')(2-benzyl-1<i>H</i>-benzimidazole-κ<i>N</i> ³)copper(II).

ABSTRACT: The title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)₂], was synthesized and structurally characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 ₁ /n with one mol-ecule per asymmetric unit. The Cu²⁺ ion exhibits a distorted octa-hedral (4 + 2) coordination geometry. The crystal packing is consolidated by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and O⋯H/H⋯O contacts are the major contributors to the crystal packing.
