Mechanochemical syntheses of Benzimidazole with transition metals; have been carried out by using direct mixing and grinding methods. The solid synthesized complexes were characterized based on their physical properties such as melting point or decomposition temperature, color, thin layer chromatography, spectroscopic studies like infra-red spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy; metal complexes for antimicrobial activities screened against some selected pathogens. The bacteria include Xanthomonas axonopodis, Streptococcus feacalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Chromobacterium violaceum, and Erwinia carotovora. Fungi pathogens were: Collectotrichum factum, Phytophthora palmivora, Ceratocysti sparadora, and Helminthosporium toxins. The results obtained have presumed that metal complexes were pure, single component, non – polar in nature, and coordination of metals to the ligand is through the nitrogen atoms of the amide group in the ligand while, the results of antimicrobial activities have also shown that metal complexes were more bioactive than the parent ligand.
