Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from a mixture of 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (0.031 g, 0.10 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) and terephthalic acid (0.017 g, 0.10 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) after one week at room temperature. [Source of water in structure?]
The positions of all H atoms bonded to N or O atoms were intitially found in a difference Fourier map. The H atoms on water molecule O2W were refined, with atom H3W fully occupied and the other (H4W/H5W) disordered over two positions, with a major component of 0.55 (6). Geometric restraints were applied to both water molecules, with O—H and H···H distances restrained to 0.83 (2) and 1.35 (2) Å, respectively. All other H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding on the parent C, O or N atom, with C—H = 0.93, O—H = 0.82 and N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or 1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Supramolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding, C—H···π interactions, π–π stacking interactions and metal–ligand coordination interactions have all been utilized in recent years to manipulate the way in which molecules are arranged in crystal structures (Desiraju, 2005; Burrows, 2004; Stephenson & Hardie, 2007). In contrast with utilizing potentially active metal centres when creating supramolecular materials, the prediction of the solid-state packing of simple organic co-crystals still remains an ongoing challenge (Dunitz, 2003; Dale et al., 2004). Organic molecules bearing hydrogen-bond donor and/or acceptor functionalities capable of participating in supramolecular synthons (Desiraju, 1995) have probably received the most interest, many using a combination of both strong and weak hydrogen-bond interactions (Steiner, 2002). Complexes of 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine and its derivatives have been studied for more than 30 years because of their unusual coordination and magnetic properties (Boča et al., 2000). However, the structures of supramolecular complexes consisting of this ligand and other organic molecules have been reported only occasionally. Chetia & Iyer (2006) demonstrated that 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine is an efficient receptor for binding urea with high affinity, and it forms hydrogen-bonded complexes with various metabolites of benzene, even in the presence of a competitive solvent environment, which is proof of its potential application in chemical and biological sensing (Chetia & Iyer, 2007). In order to research the superamolecular chemistry of this compound, we synthesized the title co-crystal, (I), and report its crystal structure here. This forms part of a wider study of the supramolecular structures and properties of this compound being undertaken in our research group.
The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of one 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine molecule, half a terephthalic acid molecule on a centre of symmetry [symmetry code (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1)] and two water molecules. The aromatic C—C and C—N distances in both the benzimidazole and pyridine rings are within the usual ranges, and this confirms the aromatic character of the pyridine and benzimidazole moieties. All C and N atoms of the 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine moiety lie in a plane, with a mean deviation of 0.075 Å, and the largest deviation is 0.347 Å for atom C4. This is similar to other compounds containing 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine and organic molecules, for example 2-[6-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-pyridyl]-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium perchlorate monohydrate (Boča et al., 2000), 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine urea (Chetia & Iyer, 2006) and 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine hydroquinone (Chetia & Iyer, 2007). In contrast, the corresponding moiety in 2-(1-methyl-3-benzimidazolinium-2-yl)-6(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine perchlorate is quite bent, with the planes of the benzimidazole forming dihedral angles of 30.5 and 45.3° with the pyridine ring (Petoud et al., 1997).
In the crystal structure of (I), there are many intermolecular interactions (Table 2 and Fig. 2). Each 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine molecule traps a water molecule via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds (involving atoms N1, N5 and O2W) in an R21(10) motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). Two 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine molecules are linked face-to-face by four water molecules in an R42(8) diamond motif via the two interactions mentioned above plus pairs of O2W—H4W···O1W and O2W—H5W···O1W hydrogen bonds via symmetry code (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z). It should be noted that the H atoms in this diamond are subject to some disorder (see Refinement). The 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine molecules are also linked back-to-back by one terephthalic acid molecule via strong intermolecular O2—H2···N2i and C9—H9···O1i [O1···H9 = 2.23 Å and angle at H9 = 169°; symmetry code: (i) x + 1, y - 1, z] hydrogen bonds in an R22(9) motif, closely related to the carboxylic acid–pyridine motif, Y, described by Dale et al. (2004), but here using the closest available CH group rather than the CH adjacent to the pyridyl N atom. The diamonds of water molecules not only link to the 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine molecules, but also to the terephthalic acid molecules via O1W—H2W···O1 hydrogen bonds. The remaining strong hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors also act as a bridge between the planes via an O1W—H1W···N4ii hydrogen bond [symmetry code: (ii) -x, -y + 1, -z]. The overall packing has the 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine, the terephthalic acid and the O2W water molecules in a layer, with these layers linked via the diamonds of water molecules to give a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded supramolecular network (Figs. 2 and 3).
In addition, there are some fairly long π–π stacking interactions between the layers at separations in the range 3.6–3.8 Å. These are between overlapping rings in the 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine molecules, suggesting that the hydrogen bonds, via the diamonds of water molecules, predominantly dictate the interlayer separations. The centroid-to-centroid distances are Cg1···Cg2 = 3.816 (2), Cg3···Cg3 = 3.602 (2) and Cg2···Cg4 = 3.736 (2) Å, where Cg1, Cg2, Cg3 and Cg4 refer to imidazole ring N1/C1/C6/N2/C7, pyridine ring N3/C8–C12, imidazole ring N4/C13/N5/C19/C14 and phenyl ring C14–C19, respectively. The combination of hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions stabilizes the whole strucutre.
