Abstract
Abstract The Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of an asymmetrical Schiff base ligand 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-phenyl]-pyridin-4-methyl amine have been prepared by the method of diethyl ether diffusion. The structures of the complexes were identified by elemental analysis (EA), infrared spectra (IR) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It was revealed that complexes 1 and 2 were composed of discrete mononuclear structures, and formed schistose structures via two different kinds of hydrogen bonds. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the ligand and two complexes were tested, which may provide useful information for the research and application in pharmaceutical chemicals.
