Abstract
The crystal structure of benzimidazole with chloranilic acid hydrate adduct crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c, with unit cell parameters; a = 4.4870(10)Å, b = 18.8554(2)Å, c = 16.6576(10)Å, β = 91.4421(8)°, V = 1408.86(4)Å3, and Z = 4. Water influences proton transfer in the adduct, contributes to generation of H-bonds, and links chloranilic acid molecules through O-H…O interactions to form a zigzag channel that entraps benzimidazole through N-H…O, C-H…O, and C-H…Cl interactions.
