摘要
Bis-benzimidazolium salt 1 was prepared via a series of reactions using 2,2＇-diphenol as starting material. Compound 2 was afforded through the intramolecular C--C coupling reaction of 1 under the catalysis of Pd（OAc）2. The structure of 2 is characterized through X-ray diffraction analyses, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. In 2, two boat-like seven-membered rings are contained, where the C--C bond distance newly formed is 1.461（5） A, and it is between regular C--C single bond （1.54 A） and C=C double bond （1.34 A）. This shows that new C--C bond has partial double-bond character. In the crystal packing of 2, the 2D supramolecular layers are formed via C--H..-F hydrogen bond.
