Crystal structure of bis((1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine, C18H19N5.

For instance, by employing a tripodal bis(benzimidazole) ligand bis((1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine(MeIDB) and its derivative as the main ligand, a series of nickel and copper complexes were synthesized which allow a systematic investigation of a biomimetic chemistry [[8]]. Comment Multi-benzimidazole ligands have been often used in the synthesis of various metal-organic complexes or modelling the biomimetic coordination environment around the enzymatic active site [[7]]. However, up to now the detailed crystallization properties of MeIDB has been not reported which can be helpful for the design of various multifunctional compounds due to its central acyclic -CH SB 2 sb -N-CH SB 2 sb - linkage moiety, making the ligand possess various steric arrangements.
