Spectroscopic elucidation and enhanced antibacterial activity of benzimidazole–thioether complexes with some first-row transition metals

This study reports the synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of a new benzimidazole derivative, 2-((benzylthio)methyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L), and its coordination complexes with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II). The ligand was synthesized in two steps, while its metal complexes were prepared i...
