A weakly fluorescent cobalt(II) complex is synthesized using 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole (PBI) as a chelating fluorescent ligand and characterized by single crystal X-ray structure. This complex serves as an efficient fluorescent probe for trace level determination of aspartic acid (AspA) and glutamic

The reactions of a mother solution of RuCl(3) with benzimidazole derivatives 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole (2,2'-PyBIm, L(1)) and 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole (2-CH(2)OHBIm, L(2)) yielded three novel ruthenium complexes: (H(2)L(1))(2)[Ru(III)Cl(4)(CH(3)CN)(2)](2)[Ru(IV)Cl(4)(CH(3)CN)(2)]·2Cl·6H(2)O (1), mer-[Ru(III)Cl(3)L(1)(CH(3)CN)]·L(1)·3H(2)O (2), and (HL(2))(4)[Ru(IV)Cl(6)]·2Cl·4H(2)O (3). The isolated compounds were characterised by elemental analyses, UV-Vis and
