In the crystal, O¡ªH...O and O¡ªH...N hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule link neighbouring molecules, forming a two-dimensional network lying parallel to the bc plane. There are also C¡ªH...¦Ð and ¦Ð¨C¦Ð interactions present. The latter involve inversion-related benzimidazole rings with centroid¨Ccentroid distances of 3.5552 (8) and 3.7466 (8) . %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812001262
