2018, Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry
In this study, we synthesized a novel benzimidazole-based Schiff base; (E)-4,4'methylenebis(2-((E)-(((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)imino)methyl)phenol) (3) was synthesized by the condensation of 5,5'-methylenebis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) (1) and (1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2yl)methanamine.HCl salt (2). This Schiff base derivative was reported for the first time and fully characterized by common spectroscopic techniques. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy were recorded to determine the sensing ability of 3 towards metal ions. Selectivity to Zn 2+ ion among studied other cations was detected. The crystal structure of 2, C8H13Cl2N3O, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal structure of the title compound, C8H11N3 2+ 2(Cl-)H2O, consists of an organic 1H-benzoimidazol-3-ium (C8H11N3 2+) cation, an inorganic 2(Cl-) anion and one water (H2O) molecule. In the cation of studied compound, C8H11N3 2+ , the benzimidazole ring is almost planar with a maximum deviation of-0.012 (3) Å. The molecule crystallized in the monoclinic structure and the space group P21/c. The crystalline stacking structure is stabilized by intramolecular N-H•••Cl, N-H•••O, the intermolecular N-H•••Cl hydrogen bond interactions connection the molecules into a two dimensional network and between anions and the water molecules. π-π interaction between benzimidazole rings [centroid-centroid lengths = 3.4642 (2) Å, 3.5309 (2) Å and 3.5527 (2) Å] may further stabilize the structure.

Crystal structure and UV spectra of a 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazolium chloride
Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications, 2017
1-(2-Hydroxybenzyl)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium chloride, C20H17N2O2 +·Cl−, was prepared by reaction of salicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride acting as a source of HCl. As a result of steric hindrance, the cation in the crystal is far from planar: the benzimidazole ring system makes dihedral angles of 55.49 (9) and 81.36 (8)° with the planes of the phenolic groups. The crystal packing is dominated by O—H...Cl and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, which link the cations and anions into four-membered rings and then into chains along [100]. The title compound exhibits two transitions in the UV region, which are revealed in the solid state and solution spectra as an absorption maximum at 280 nm and a shoulder at 320 nm. According to the results of TD–DFT calculation, both transitions have a π–π* nature and the molecular orbitals involved in these transitions are mostly localized on the benzimidazole ring system and on the phenyl ring att...

Novel cyano-substituted benzimidazole derivatives 3 and 4 were synthesized from 4-N,N-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde and 2-cyanomethyl-benzimidazole. 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-N,N-dimethylamino-phenyl)acrylonitrile hydrochloride monohydrate 4 has been studied by 1 H and 13 C NMR, IR, MS, UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The interaction of 4 with ct-DNA has also been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and melting temperature determination experiment. According to the emission spectra recorded in the absence and presence of ct-DNA at different ratios r ([compound]/[polynucleotide]), 4 showed marked decrease in the fluorescence intensity and very strong hypochromic effect. Melting temperature experiment showed weak stabilization of double helix. To determine binding mode of 4, other additional experiments are necessary. The molecules of 4 are almost planar with the dihedral angle between benzimidazole and phenyl rings of 6.99(6)°. The protonation of nitrogen atom of benzimidazole ring is followed by p-electrons delocalization in the C N N region resulting in C-N bond distances equality [1.341(2) and 1.337(2) Å ]. Both NH groups of benzimidazole ring form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, one with the oxygen atom of water molecule [NÁÁÁO 2.689(2) Å ] and the other with Clion (NÁÁÁCl -3.051(1) Å ).
