Abstract
Two complexes of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions with Benzimidazole ligand have been prepared. The ligand and its metal complexes have been characterized by using NMR and FTIR techniques. Ligand L acts as a bidentate ligand. The antibacteriall property of the complexes has been verified. The outcome of the antibacterial screening demonstrated that the complexes possess good biological activity against different bacterial strains. The results therefore suggest that all the complexes are better antifungal agents than the free ligand.
