A functionalized benzimidazole, 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-3-allyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one, has been synthesized, and the crystal structure was determined and analyzed. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2 1 /n (number 14) c with cell parameters, íµí± = 7.12148(8 A, íµí± = 16.12035(17 A, íµí± = 13.04169(17 A, íµí»½ = 93.3043(11), íµí± = 1494.71(3 A 3 , and íµí°· calc = 1.375 g/mm 3 . The solid state geometry is stabilized by intermolecular íµí¼–íµí¼ interactions along with the van der Waals interactions which contribute to the stability of the crystal packing. Computational calculations have been used to properly understand the main intermolecular interactions present in the crystal.
