Description

2-Mercapto-5-methylbenzimidazole is a benzimidazole compound that has been studied for its adsorption mechanism. It binds to metal ions and forms coordination complexes, which are then able to bind to organic molecules. The binding constants of 2-mercapto-5-methylbenzimidazole were determined using carbon disulphide as the solvent and methanol as the probe molecule. The formation of hydrogen bonds with the solvent was also observed in 2-mercapto-5-methylbenzimidazole, which may be due to its ability to interact with hydrogen atoms. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that 2-mercapto-5-methylbenzimidazole is non toxic at a concentration of 10 mM. X-ray crystal structures have shown that 2 mercapto 5 methylbenzimidazole has a molecular shape similar to other benzimidazoles,
