An ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of 1-benzyl-1H-benzimidazole.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(14)H(12)N(2), in contrast to the previously reported monoclinic polymorph [Lei et al. (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. E65, o2613], crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic crystal system. The dihedral angle between the imidazole ring system and the phenyl ring is 76.78 (16)°. Weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure.
