Abstract

In the pseudo-centrosymmetric mol­ecule of the title compound, C18H16N4, two benzimidazole fragments form the dihedral angles of 83.49 (7) and 79.37 (7)°, with the mean plane of the linking butene chain. No classical inter­molecular inter­actions are observed. The porous crystal packing exhibits voids of 85 Å3.
