title: 2,6-Bis(1H-benzimidazol--2-yl)pyridine methanol trisolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(19)H(13)N(5)·3CH(4)O, the 2,6-bis-(2-benzimidazol-yl)pyridine mol-ecule is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms of 0.185 Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak π⋯π stacking inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6675 (16) and 3.6891 (15) Å. The atoms of one of the methanol solvent molecules are disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.606(8) and 0.394(8).
