title: Bis(2-benzamido-benzimidazolato-κN,O)(N,N-dimethyl-formamide-κO)copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(14)H(10)N(3)O)(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)], the Cu(II) atom is five-coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 2-benzamido-benzimidazolate anions and one O-coordinated dimethyl-formamide (DMF) mol-ecule, resulting in a distorted square-based pyramidal CuN(2)O(3) geometry for the metal atom, with the DMF O atom at the apical site. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds result in chains of mol-ecules propagating along [100].
