held together the molecules of 5 have 3610 A and 3703 Acentroid-centroid distances see Figures 4 and 5 Thesedirectional interactions yield to the formation of orderedarrays of parallel 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one

Intermolecular 120587ndash120587 interactions between the nitroben-zene substituents are also found in the crystal structurehaving a 3733 A centroid-centroid distance Figure 6 Theposition of the molecules in the asymmetric unit is depictedin Figure 7

Thus this arrangement generates parallel arrays ofnitrobenzene rings (bc plane) that are held together by120587ndash120587 interactions (Figure 8) along with arrays of parallelbenzimidazole fragments in the adirection also based on120587ndash120587interactions (Figure 9)

Computational studies at a semiempirical level of theoryPM3 (from X-ray geometries without optimization at PM3level of theory) allow obtaining the relative stability ofthe different 120587ndash120587 interactions observed in the solid statestructure (Figure 10) For this purpose the relative energyof the dimers displayed in Figure 10 each one containingone of such intermolecular interactions except the first onecontaining two was calculated with all the distances andangles fixed according to the X-ray structure Thus cal-culations predict that the 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one 120587ndash120587 interaction is more

The details of the crystal data data collection and structurerefinements are shown in Table 1 and the unique molecule inthe crystal structure of 5 in Figure 2

The title compound C17H15N3O3is a new heterocyclic

system deriving from 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one Thecrystal structure of this molecule is formed by two fusedsix- and five-membered rings linked to one benzyl andone allyl groups The fused-ring system is fundamentallyplanar with the maximum deviation from the mean planeof 0010 (6) A for N3 The benzyl and allyl groups are almostperpendicular to the benzimidazole plane but oriented inopposite directions (Figure 2)

Intermolecular 120587ndash120587 interactions between the nitroben-zene substituents are also found in the crystal structurehaving a 3733 A centroid-centroid distance Figure 6 Theposition of the molecules in the asymmetric unit is depictedin Figure 7

Thus this arrangement generates parallel arrays ofnitrobenzene rings (bc plane) that are held together by120587ndash120587 interactions (Figure 8) along with arrays of parallelbenzimidazole fragments in the adirection also based on120587ndash120587interactions (Figure 9)

Computational studies at a semiempirical level of theoryPM3 (from X-ray geometries without optimization at PM3level of theory) allow obtaining the relative stability ofthe different 120587ndash120587 interactions observed in the solid statestructure (Figure 10) For this purpose the relative energyof the dimers displayed in Figure 10 each one containingone of such intermolecular interactions except the first onecontaining two was calculated with all the distances andangles fixed according to the X-ray structure Thus cal-culations predict that the 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one 120587ndash120587 interaction is more

3 Results and Discussion

The details of the crystal data data collection and structurerefinements are shown in Table 1 and the unique molecule inthe crystal structure of 5 in Figure 2

The title compound C17H15N3O3is a new heterocyclic

system deriving from 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one Thecrystal structure of this molecule is formed by two fusedsix- and five-membered rings linked to one benzyl andone allyl groups The fused-ring system is fundamentallyplanar with the maximum deviation from the mean planeof 0010 (6) A for N3 The benzyl and allyl groups are almostperpendicular to the benzimidazole plane but oriented inopposite directions (Figure 2)

Intermolecular 120587ndash120587 interactions between the nitroben-zene substituents are also found in the crystal structurehaving a 3733 A centroid-centroid distance Figure 6 Theposition of the molecules in the asymmetric unit is depictedin Figure 7

Thus this arrangement generates parallel arrays ofnitrobenzene rings (bc plane) that are held together by120587ndash120587 interactions (Figure 8) along with arrays of parallelbenzimidazole fragments in the adirection also based on120587ndash120587interactions (Figure 9)

Computational studies at a semiempirical level of theoryPM3 (from X-ray geometries without optimization at PM3level of theory) allow obtaining the relative stability ofthe different 120587ndash120587 interactions observed in the solid statestructure (Figure 10) For this purpose the relative energyof the dimers displayed in Figure 10 each one containingone of such intermolecular interactions except the first onecontaining two was calculated with all the distances andangles fixed according to the X-ray structure Thus cal-culations predict that the 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one 120587ndash120587 interaction is more

stable than the nitrobenzenendashnitrobenzene 120587ndash120587 interactionThe energy difference between the dimmers 1 and 3 is249 kcalmol although it must be taken into considerationthat in the case of the first dimer a second edge to faceinteraction between the benzimidazole and the nitrobenzenefragments is also present The difference in calculated energybetween 2 and 3 is 193 kcalmol

The HOMO and LUMO minus 2 are located on the 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one moiety and the LUMO andHOMO + 2 on the nitrobenzene ring and therefore theinteraction between these frontier orbitals is the responsibleof the observed 120587ndash120587 interactions Figure 11

4 Conclusions

A new substituted benzo[d]imidazole-2(3H)-one has beensynthesized (1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-3-allyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one) and its crystal structure has been determinedshowing a solid state geometry stabilized by intermolec-ular 120587ndash120587 interactions benzimidazolendashbenzimidazole andnitrobenzenendashnitrobenzene providing the formation of a sta-ble three-dimensional network Computational calculations
