Abstract

Abstract: N, N -bis( N -methyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazole)aniline (EtAIDB) and its transition metal complexes, [Cu(EtAIDB)Br2 ]·EtOH {dibromo[ N, N -bis( N -methyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazole)aniline] copper(II) ethanol} (1 ) and [Zn(EtAIDB)Br2 ] {dibromo[ N, N -bis( N -methyl-2-ylmethylbenzimidazole)aniline] zinc(II)} (2 ), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, UV–visible, and IR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystallographic studies of1 and2 have shown two different arrangements:1 is distorted square-based pyramidal, while2 can be treated as distorted tetrahedral. The cyclic voltammogram of1 represents quasi-reversible Cu 2+ /Cu + pairs. In vitro antioxidant tests showed that1 had significant antioxidant activity against superoxide and hydroxy radicals.
