title: 1-[2,2-Bis(1,3-benzimidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)-3-bromo-prop-yl]-1,3-benzimidazole.
abstract: The title compound, C(26)H(23)BrN(6), has been synthesized as a potential ligand for the construction of metal-organic frameworks. The three benzimidazolyl groups present three potential coordination nodes. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring systems are 74.03 (10), 66.49 (9) and 74.09 (9)°. The structure contains large voids, which contain highly disordered solvent mol-ecules that may be CH(3)CH(2)OH. Since the solvent mol-ecules could not be located, the PLATON/SQUEEZE procedure [Spek (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155] was used.
