%X In the title compound, C16H12N2S2, the thiophene groups are rotationally disordered over two sets of sites, by approximately 180¡ã, with occupancy ratios of 0.916 (2):0.084 (2) and 0.903 (2):0.097 (2). The major components of the thiophene and methylene substituted thiophene rings are canted by 24.06 (12) and 85.07 (10)¡ã, respectively, from the benzimidazole ring system plane and the dihedral angle between the major component thiophene ring planes is 84.90 (14)¡ã. In the crystal, there is a weak C¡ªH...N hydrogen bond which links molecules into chains.
