Spectroscopic Insights and Antibacterial Activity of Benzimidazolium Dichromate

G. Kishore, A. Lakshmanarao

Abstract: Benzimidazole derivatives, including benzimidazolium dichromate, have garnered considerable attention in medicinal chemistry due to their diverse biological properties. The synthesis of benzimidazolium dichromate has been achieved through established synthetic routes, with its structural elucidation confirmed by melting point analysis and spectroscopic techniques such as infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The compound?s antibacterial potential has been assessed using the agar well diffusion method, targeting both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Klebsiella pneumoniae) strains. Studies report that the antibacterial activity is closely linked to the structural features of the molecule, highlighting the importance of benzimidazole-based organometallic complexes as promising candidates for antimicrobial drug development.
