Abstract
The 2,2'-Biimidazole was synthesized by the reaction between glycol and ammonium solution. The correct solid structure of 2,2'-biimidazole in this method reported either trans ($C_{2h}$) or cis ($C_{2v}$) form. In this study, the correct structure of 2,2'-biimidazole was analysed by both FTIR and Raman spectroscopy using mutual exclusion properties of them. Also, it was analysed by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR and computer molecular modeling. The structure of 2,2'-biimidazole found to be trans ($C_{2h}$) than cis ($C_{2v}$) by comparison between FTIR and Raman Spectra. This results agree with computer molecular modeling and x-ray crystallography. This study provide good evidence for identifying structural orientation of the 2,2'-biimidazole containing pyridyl nitrogen.
