In the title compound, C23H14N2, (I), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the pyrene and benzimidazole ring systems is 42.08 (5)°, with a bridging C—C bond length of 1.463 (3) Å. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming columns propagating along the b-axis direction. The columns are linked via C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming slabs parallel to the ab plane. There are no significant ππ inter­actions present in the crystal structure. The density functional theory (DFT) optimized structure, at the B3LYP/ 6-311G(d,p) level, is compared with the experimentally determined solid-state structure of the title compound.

1. Chemical context

Benzimidazoles, which are analogues of imidazole contained in histidine, are an important class of biologically active compounds (Collman et al., 1973[Collman, J. P., Gagne, R. R., Halbert, T. R., Marchon, J. C. & Reed, C. A. (1973). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 95, 7868-7870.]). In addition, they are excellent organic ligands of many metal ions (Sundberg & Martin, 1974[Sundberg, R. J. & Martin, R. B. (1974). Chem. Rev. 74, 471-517.]). The pyrene unit is one of the most commonly used fluoro­phores due to its strong luminescence and chemical stability (Aoki et al., 1991[Aoki, I., Kawabata, H., Nakashima, K. & Shinkai, S. (1991). J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. pp. 1771-1773.]; Nishizawa et al., 1999[Nishizawa, S., Kato, Y. & Teramae, N. (1999). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 121, 9463-9464.]; van der Veen et al., 2000[Veen, N. J. van der, Flink, S., Deij, M. A., Egberink, R. J. M., van Veggel, F. C. J. M. & Reinhoudt, D. N. (2000). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122, 6112-6113.]). Another inter­esting feature of the pyrene unit is the inter­action between the pyrene aromatic rings in the crystal packing, which can permit the formation of highly ordered mol­ecular aggregates in the solid state by architecturally controlled self-assembly (Desiraju & Gavezzotti, 1989[Desiraju, G. R. & Gavezzotti, A. (1989). J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. pp. 621-623.]; Munakata et al., 1994[Munakata, M., Dai, J., Maekawa, M., Kuroda-Sowa, T. & Fukui, J. (1994). J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. pp. 2331-2332.]). Pyrene is a commonly used fluoro­phore due to its unusual fluorescence properties, viz. intense fluorescence signals and vibronic band dependence with the media (Karpovich & Blanchard, 1995[Karpovich, D. S. & Blanchard, G. J. (1995). J. Phys. Chem. 99, 3951-3958.]), and has been used in fluorescence sensors (Bell & Hext, 2004[Bell, T. W. & Hext, N. M. (2004). Chem. Soc. Rev. 33, 589-598.]) and excimer formation (Lodeiro et al., 2006[Lodeiro, C., Lima, J. C., Parola, A. J., Seixas de Melo, J. S., Capelo, J. L., Covelo, B., Tamayo, A. & Pedras, B. (2006). Sens. Actuators B Chem. 115, 276-286.]). As a result of these particular properties and because of its chemical stability, it is also employed as a probe for solid-state studies and polymer association (Seixas de Melo et al., 2003[Seixas de Melo, J., Costa, T., Miguel, M. da G., Lindman, B. & Schillén, K. (2003). J. Phys. Chem. B, 107, 12605-12621.]).

[Scheme 1]

The title compound was prepared from an equimolar mixuture of 1:1 o-phenyl­enedi­amine and pyrene-1-carbaldehyde. Synthesis and characterization of many benzimidazole-ring-containing compounds have been reported (Yan et al., 2009[Yan, Y.-N., Lin, D.-Y., Pan, W.-L., Li, X.-L., Wan, Y.-Q., Mai, Y.-L. & Song, H.-C. (2009). Spectrochim. Acta Part A, 74, 233-242.]; Hallett et al., 2012[Hallett, A. J., White, N., Wu, W., Cui, X., Horton, P. N., Coles, S. J., Zhao, J. & Pope, S. J. A. (2012). Chem. Commun. 48, 10838-10840.]; Xia et al., 2014[Xia, L., Wu, C., Suna, Z. & You, J. (2014). Anal. Methods, 6, 1135-1141.]; Dhanalakshmi et al., 2014[Dhanalakshmi, P., Thimmarayaperumal, S. & Shanmugam, S. (2014). RSC Adv. 4, 12028-12036.]; Guo et al., 2015[Guo, Z., Yuan, J., Cui, Y., Chang, F., Sun, W. & Liu, M. (2015). Chem. Eur. J. 11, 4155-4162.]; Song et al., 2010[Song, C., Sun, Z., Xia, L., Suo, Y. & You, J. (2010). J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 33, 859-874.]), but very few compounds have been structurally characterized. Previously, Zhao et al. (2016[Zhao, M., Deng, Z., Tang, J., Zhou, X., Chen, Z., Li, X., Yang, L. & Ma, L.-J. (2016). Analyst, 141, 2308-2312.]) reported on the synthesis of 2-(pyren-1-yl)benzimidazole, used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of iron(III) ions in aqueous solution, but gave no structural details of the compound. The present work is part of an ongoing structural study of pyrene-ring-system derivatives (Faizi & Prisyazhnaya, 2015[Faizi, M. S. H. & Prisyazhnaya, E. V. (2015). Acta Cryst. E71, 261-263.]). The results of the calculations by density functional theory (DFT) on (I), carried out at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level, are compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state.

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, (I), is illustrated in Fig. 1[link]. The compound is nonplanar, the rotation around the bond connecting the two aromatic moieties, which is predominantly σ in character [C16—C17 = 1.463 (3) Å], being described by the torsion angle N1—C17—C16—C1 of −39.49 (10)°. The mean planes of the pyrene (atoms C1–C16; r.m.s. deviation = 0.038 Å) and benzimidazole (N1/N2/C17–C23) ring systems are inclined to one another by 42.08 (5)°, reflecting the significant deviation from overall mol­ecular planarity.

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal of (I), mol­ecules are assembled via N2—H⋯N1i hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link]) into columns propagating along the b-axis direction (Fig. 2[link]). The columns are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions (Table 1[link]), forming slabs parallel to the ab plane (Fig. 3[link]).

4. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.38, last update May 2017; Groom et al., 2016[Groom, C. R., Bruno, I. J., Lightfoot, M. P. & Ward, S. C. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171-179.]) gave a number of hits for similar compounds, viz. phenyl-2-benzimidazole derivatives (II) (CSD refcode FOBZUS; Li et al., 2005[Li, X.-M., Du, L.-P., Li, Y. & Zhang, S.-S. (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, o1902-o1903.]) and (III) (LIYTIW; Bei et al., 2000[Bei, F., Jian, F., Yang, X., Lu, L., Wang, X., Shanmuga Sundara Raj, S. & Fun, H.-K. (2000). Acta Cryst. C56, 718-719.]), and phenanthro­imidazole derivatives (IV) (ERODOE; Bu et al., 2003[Bu, L., Sawada, T., Shosenji, H., Yoshida, K. & Mataka, S. (2003). Dyes Pigm. 57, 181-183.]) and (V) (SUZHIE; Krebs et al., 2001[Krebs, F. C., Lindvold, L. R. & Jorgensen, M. (2001). Tetrahedron Lett. 42, 6753-6755.]). All four organic compounds are nonplanar and have a similar C—C bond length between the aromatic ring systems. In (I), this bond (C16—C17) is 1.463 (3) Å, and the two ring systems are inclined to one another by 42.08 (5)°. These values are close to those reported for compounds (II) (1.474 Å and 40.17°), (III) (1.467 Å and 31.12°) and (V) (1.436 and 30.12°), but the anthracene–phenanthro­imidazole compound (IV) has a larger deviation from planarity, with the two aromatic ring systems being almost perpendicular to one another (1.488 Å and 76.54°) due to significant steric hindrance of the anthracene moiety. Two other compounds are worth mentioning, viz. 9-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2,3,6,7-tetra­hydro-1H,5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinoline (VI) (TAQHUR; Gonzalez & Unnamatla, 2017[Gonzalez, G. G. & Unnamatla, M. V. B. (2017). IUCrData, 2, x170445.]) and 2-(pyren-1-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole unknown solvate (VII) (KUFLOO; Subeesh et al., 2015[Subeesh, M. S., Shanmugasundaram, K., Sunesh, C. D., Won, Y. S. & Choe, A. (2015). J. Mater. Chem. C, 3, 4683.]). In (VI), the mean plane of the pyrido­quinoline moiety is inclined to the benzimidole ring system by 37.94 (10)° and the bridging C—C bond is 1.467 (3) Å, similar to the situation in (I). In (VII), the mean plane of the pyrene ring system is inclined to the phenanthro­imidazole mean plane by 63.37 (6)° and the bridging C—C bond is 1.463 (5) Å. As in (IV), this large dihedral angle is due to steric hinderance.

5. DFT study

The DFT quantum-chemical calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level (Becke, 1993[Becke, A. D. (1993). J. Chem. Phys. 98, 5648-5652.]), as implemented in GAUSSIAN09 (Frisch et al., 2009[Frisch, M. J. et al. (2009). GAUSSIAN09. Gaussian Inc., Wallingford, CT, USA.]). DFT structure optimization of (I) was performed starting from the X-ray geometry and the values compared with experimental values (see Table 2[link]). From these results we can conclude that basis set 6-311G(d,p) is well suited in its approach to the experimental data.

The DFT study of (I) shows that the HOMO and LUMO are localized in the plane extending from the whole pyrene ring to the benzimidazole ring. The electron distribution of the HOMO-1, HOMO, LUMO and the LUMO+1 energy levels are shown in Fig. 4[link]. The mol­ecular orbital of HOMO contains both σ and π character, whereas HOMO-1 is dominated by orbital density. The LUMO is mainly composed of density, while LUMO+1 has both σ and π character and electronic density. The HOMO–LUMO gap was found to be 0.273 a.u. and the frontier mol­ecular orbital energies, EHOMO and ELUMO, were −0.20083 and −0.07230 a.u., respectively.

6. Synthesis and crystallization

Pyrene-1-carbaldehyde (0.2306 g, 1.0 mmol) was added to a 50 ml round-bottomed flask containing 10 ml of CH2Cl2. Then a 10 ml CH2Cl2 solution containing 0.1080 g (1.0 mmol) o-phenyl­enedi­amine was added dropwise over a period of 30 min with stirring. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The solvent was then evaporated and the residue purified by aluminium oxide gel-column chromatography using CH2Cl2 as the eluent to obtain a pale-yellow powder of (I) (yield 0.2311 g, 72.6%). Colourless prismatic crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of (I) from methanol.

7. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. The N-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). The C-bound H atoms were included in calculated positions and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
