In this study, a series of amine functionalized benzimidazolium salts and their silver(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. All the compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. They showed antibacterial activity with MIC values in the range of 12.5-50 µg/mL and antifungal activity with MIC values in the range of 290
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
