Novel Benzimidazole- Platinum(II) Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial and Anticancer Activity

•New three Platinum complexes (1-3) with 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl) phenol (L1), N, N-dimethyl-4-(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl) aniline (L2) and 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-N, N-dimethylaniline (L3) were synthesized.•The crystal structures of L1, 1 and geometrical isomer of 1 (1a) were determined by X-Ray crystallography.•The cytotoxic activities of the compounds were tested on against SHSY-5Y and U-87 cell lines and antimicrobial effect on gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
