Bis(benzimidazole) Complexes, Synthesis and Their Biological Properties: A Perspective

Abstract

Benzimidazoles are a very well-known, broad group of compounds containing nitrogen atoms in their structure that can mimic properties of DNA bases. The compounds show not only biological activities but also are used for spectral and catalytic properties. Biological activity of benzimidazoles can be tuned and accelerated in coordination compounds. This minireview is focused on preparation of bis(benzimidazoles), their complexes, and biological properties that can be found from 2015.
