Аннотация
The title compound is synthesized from the precursors 1,2-diaminobenzene and 2,2¢-bipyridine-4,4¢-dicarboxylic acid (dcbpy) and characterized using ESI-Mass, 1H NMR, FT-IR and single crystal X-ray analysis. We are the first to report the crystal structure of the 4,4¢-bis(benzimidazolyl)-2,2¢-bipyridine (bimbpy) ligand. The photophysical properties of the compound in dimethyl sulfoxide and in the aqueous medium are studied. The interaction studies of bimbpy with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were performed with the fluorescence technique and it strongly binds with BSA.
