Synthesis, X-ray crystal structures, and computational studies of 1,1′-bridged 4,4′-diaryl-2,2′-bibenzimidazoles: Building blocks for supramolecular structures

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/b820502g

A series of C-shaped, 1,1′-alkyl-bridged 4,4′-diaryl-2, 2′-bibenzimidazoles has been synthesized. The crystal structures of these compounds have been determined and packing diagrams demonstrate that these molecules either form linear intercalated molecula
