The Co(II), Fe(II), and Zn(II) complexes of 1-(3-phenyl)propylbenzimidazole (PPBI), 5-nitro-1-(3-phenyl) propylbenzimidazole (PPNBI), 1-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]benzimidazole (MEBI), 1-[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethyl]benzimidazole (PEBI), and 5-nitro-1-[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethyl]benzimidazole (PENBI) were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analyses. The magnitudes of the magnetic moments for paramagnetic complexes were between and . Moreover, the crystal structure of dichlorobis{1-[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethyl]-1H-benzimidazole-KN3} zinc(II) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. |
