Abstract
The title compound, [Cu(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(8)H(9)N(3))], crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pnma. In the crystal structure, the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two acetyl-acetonate ligands and one 2-amino-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole ligand. The crystal structure features intra-molecular N-H⋯O and inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which contribute to the overall cohesion of the crystal. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were utilized to qu-antify the inter-molecular inter-actions, revealing the relative contributions of H⋯H (61.1%), H⋯C/C⋯H (21.3%), and O⋯H/H⋯O (11.3%) contacts to the crystal packing.
