In the title compound, C14H9F3N2O, the best planes of the benzimidazole group and benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 26.68 (3)°. In the crystal, N—HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains parallel to the c axis. Stacking interactions between the benzimidazole groups [centroid–centroid distance = 3.594 (5) Å] assemble the molecules into layers parallel to (100). The trifluoromethyl group is disordered over three sets of sites with site-occupancy factors of 0.787 (4), 0.107 (7) and 0.106 (7).

In the title molecule, C13H8F2N2, the dihedral angle between the benzimidazole ring system and the difluoro-substituted benzene ring is 30.0 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—HN hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. In addition, weak C—HF hydrogen bonds connect chains into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). A weak C—Hπ interaction is observed between an H atom of the benzimidazole ring sytem and the π system of the difluoro-substituted benzene ring.
