%X In the title compound, C14H9F3N2O, the best planes of the benzimidazole group and benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 26.68 (3)¡ã. In the crystal, N¡ªH...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains parallel to the c axis. Stacking interactions between the benzimidazole groups [centroid¨Ccentroid distance = 3.594 (5)  ] assemble the molecules into layers parallel to (100). The trifluoromethyl group is disordered over three sets of sites with site-occupancy factors of 0.787 (4), 0.107 (7) and 0.106 (7).
