Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, and Biological Activity of Zinc(II) Salts with 1,4-Bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene

Zinc(II) halides and perchlorate react with 1,4-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (L) in 1 : 2 molar ratio in n-butanol/2-methoxy ethanol (10 mL) at refluxing temperature to produce white/pale yellow-colored complexes of the formulae [ZnCl2L]H2O, [ZnBr2L]3H2O, and [Zn(OClO3)2L]HOCH2CH2CH2CH3. Zinc(II) i...
