$^1H$ NMR spectra of imidazole, 2-and 4(5)-methylimidazole, histamine, L-histidine, L-histidine methyl ester, N${\alpha}$-acetyl-L-histidine, and L-carnosine coordinated to the paramagnetic undecatungstocobalto(II)silicate ($SiW_{11}Co$) and undecatungstonickelo(II)silicate ($SiW_{11}Ni$) anions are reported. For these complexes the ligand exchange is slow on the NMR time scale and the pure resonance lines of the free ligand and the complexes have been observed separately at room temperature. Two different complexes are formed, depending upon which nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring is coordinated to the cobalt or nickel ion of $SiW_{11}M$. Thus the NMR spectrum of a $D_2O$ solution containing a ligand and $SiW_{11}M$ consists of three sets of lines originating from the free ligand and two complexes. All NMR lines of the $SiW_{11}Co$ complexes have been assigned unequivocally using the saturation transfer technique. The temperature dependence of some spectra are also reported. The NMR spectra of some complexes show that the internal rotation of the substituent on the imidazole ring is hampered by the heteropolyanion moiety even at room temperature.

Sulconazole nitrate, C18H16Cl3N3O3S, crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a=14.401(1), b=8.051(1), c=34.861(2) Å, β=95.9(1)°, g=0.58 mm-1, Dc=1.523 g/cm3, Dm=1.522 g/cm3, F(000)=1888.0, and z=8. Intensities for 2460 unique reflections were measured on a CAD4 diffractometer with graphited-monochromated Mo-Kα radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by full matrix least squares to a final R=0.071 for 2182 reflections (Io > 2σIo). The bond lengths and angles are comparable with the values found in the analogues imidazole derivatives. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring(A) and the p-chlorophenyl ring(B) are almost planar with different heights [dihedral angle 17.3°] while the imidazole ring(C) is nearly perpendicular to the two phenyl rings[dihedral angles about the two rings A, B are 110.8° and 96.1° respectively]. In order to understand the overall conformation we calculated the selected distances (l1, l2, l3) among the center of the three rings and considered the imaginary plan D[C(7), C(9) and C(16)]. The two polar group S(8) and N(19) do not have gauche conformation and l2 value (4.47 Å) is shorter than the other imidazole derivatives. One -NO3 group are hydrogen bonded the two neighbored sulconazole molecules. The molecular crystal packing is also formed by two hydrogen bondings and van der Waals forces.

Two arylamino substituted mercaptoimidazole derivatives namely 4,5-dimethyl-1-(phenylamino)-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione (I1) and 4,5- dimethyl-1-((p-chlorophenyl)amino)- 1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione (I2) were synthesized and investigated as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 0.5 M HCl solution by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and SEM. The results showed that the investigated mercaptoimidazole derivatives act as mixed type inhibitors and inhibition efficiency follows the I2>I1 order. Adsorption of inhibitors on metal surface was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that adsorption of the inhibitors has both physisorption and chemisorption adsorption mechanism. Electrochemical test results were supported by quantum chemical parameters obtained from DFT calculations.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis for recently synthesized imidazole-(benz)azole and imidazole - piperazine derivatives was studied for their anticancer activities against breast (MCF-7) cell lines. The statistically significant 2D-QSAR models ($r^2=0.8901$; $q^2=0.8130$; F test = 36.4635; $r^2$ se = 0.1696; $q^2$ se = 0.12212; pred_$r^2=0.4229$; pred_$r^2$ se = 0.4606 and $r^2=0.8763$; $q^2=0.7617$; F test = 31.8737; $r^2$ se = 0.1951; $q^2$ se = 0.2708; pred_$r^2=0.4386$; pred_$r^2$ se = 0.3950) were developed using molecular design suite (VLifeMDS 4.2). The study was performed with 18 compounds (data set) using random selection and manual selection methods used for the division of the data set into training and test set. Multiple linear regression (MLR) methodology with stepwise (SW) forward-backward variable selection method was used for building the QSAR models. The results of the 2D-QSAR models were further compared with 3D-QSAR models generated by kNN-MFA, (k-Nearest Neighbor Molecular Field Analysis) investigating the substitutional requirements for the favorable anticancer activity. The results derived may be useful in further designing novel imidazole-(benz)azole and imidazole-piperazine derivatives against breast (MCF-7) cell lines prior to synthesis.

Quantum chemical quantities, enthalpy of formation(${\Delta}H_f$), HOMO and LUMO energy, and dipole moment(${\mu}_D$) were acquired by AM1, PM3, and ZINDO/1 methods for polyamines and imidazole derivatives. The investigation of the inhibitory activity on some Ni(II) complexes with polyamines and imidazole derivatives is performed by ZINDO/1 calculations. It was found that experimental inhibitory activity(IA) appeared when the value of net charge and enthalpy of formation were over 0.03 and -300 eV, respectively for Ni(II) complexes. These results showed that the Ni(II) complexes have exception on the following very unstable compounds: square pyramidal [Ni(dpt)(tn)])]$^{2+}$(dpt=3,3'-diaminodipropylamine)(tn=1,3-diaminopropane) and distorted tetrahedral [Ni(N-PropIm))$_2$(NCS))$_2$](N-PropIm=N-Propylimidazole).

New complex $[Mn(II)H_{1.5}L]_2[Mn(II)H_3L]_2(ClO_4)_5{\cdot}3H_2O$ (1), where $H_3L$ is tris {2-(4-imidazolyl)methyliminoethyl} amine (imtren), has been prepared by reacting manganese(II) perchlorate hexahydrate with the imtren ligand in methanol. X-ray crystallographic study revealed that the imtren ligand hexadentately binds to Mn(II) ion through the three Schiff-base imine N atoms and three imidazole N atoms with a distorted octahedral geometry, and the apical tertiary amine N atom of the ligand pseudo-coordinates to Mn(II), forming overall a pseudo-seven coordination environment. The hydrogen-bonds between imidazole and imidazolate of $[Mn(II)H_{1.5}L]^{0.5+}$ complex ions are extended to build a 2D puckered network with trigonal voids. $[Mn(II)H_3L]^{2+}$ complex ions constitutes another extended 2D puckered layer without hydrogen bonds. Two layers are wedged each other to constitute overall stack of the crystal. Peroxidase activity of complex 1 was examined by observing the oxidation of 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of complex 1. Generation of $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ was observed by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopies, indicating that the complex 1, a fully-coordinated mononuclear Mn(II) complex with nitrogen-only ligand, has a heme-independent peroxidase activity.

A simple, efficient, and cost-effective method has been employed for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazole derivatives (3a-j) containing quinoline substituent at 2^nd position. Title compounds were obtained by multicomponent reaction (MCR), involving aryl substituted 1,2-diketone, quinoline carbaldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of acetic acid solvent under mild reaction conditions. The newly synthesized quinoline containing imidazole derivatives were confirmed through FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and mass spectral analysis. In-vitro microplate alamar blue assay (MABA) to determine the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was performed for the synthesized compounds. The synthesized compounds exhibited activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and among which compounds, 3d, 3f and 3i showed good activity. The highest activity was showed with compound 3i. The anti-mycobacterial activity results are well correlated with the computational molecular docking analysis, which was performed for the synthesized compounds prior to the evaluation of the activity.

Two azole compounds viz., Imidazole (IM) and 2-Methylimidazole (2-MIM) were studied to investigate their inhibiting action on corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) solution by mass loss and polarization techniques at 302K-333K. It has been found that the inhibition efficiency of the all inhibitors increased with increase in inhibitor concentration and decreases with increasing temperature and also with increase in acid concentrations. The inhibition efficiency of these compounds showed very good inhibition efficiency. At 0.5% of IM and 2-MIM in 1N and 5N phosphoric acid solution at 302K to 333K for 5 hours immersion period, the inhibition efficiency of 2-Methylimidazole found to be higher than Imidazole. The adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface from the acids has been found to obey Tempkin's adsorption isotherm. The values of activation energy ($E{\alpha}$) and free energy of adsorption (${\Delta}G{\alpha}ds$) were also calculated. The plots of log $W_f$ against time (days) at 302K give straight line which suggested that it obeys first order kinetics and also calculate the rate constant k and half life time $t_{1/2}$. Surface was analyzed by SEM and FITR spectroscopy.
