Abstract
In the title mol-ecule, C13H13N3O, the isoxazole ring is inclined to the benzimidazole ring at a dihedral angle of 69.28 (14)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between neighboring benzimidazole rings form chains along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (48.8%), H⋯C/C⋯H (20.9%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (19.3%) inter-actions. The optimized structure calculated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined structure in the solid state. The calculated highest occupied mol-ecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied mol-ecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap is 4.9266 eV.
