title: 2-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C(19)H(13)FN(2), the benzimidazole unit is close to planar [maximum deviation = 0.0342 (9) Å] and forms dihedral angles of 58.94 (3) and 51.43 (3)° with the phenyl and fluoro-benzene rings, respectively; the dihedral angle between the phenyl and fluoro-benzene rings is 60.17 (6)°. In the crystal, three C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds and two weak C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the fused benzene ring lead to a three-dimensional architecture.
