Eco-friendly, one-pot, solvent-free synthesis of biologically active 2-substituted benzimidazoles is presented and discussed herein. Novel N-Mannich bases are synthesized from benzimidazoles, secondary amines and formaldehyde, and their structures are confirmed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and elemental analysis. All benzimidazole derivatives are evaluated by qualitative and quantitative methods against 9 bacterial strains. The largest microbicide and anti-biofilm effect is observed for the 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-compounds. Density functional theory (DFT) modeling of the molecular structure and frontier molecular orbitals, i.e. highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO/LUMO), is accomplished by using the GAMESS 2012 software. Antimicrobial activity is correlated with the electronic parameters (chemical hardness, electronic chemical potential, global electrophilicity index), Mullikan atomic charges and geometric parameters of the benzimidazole compounds. The planarity of the compound, symmetry of the molecule, and the presence of a nucleophilic group, are advantages for a high antimicrobial activity. Finally, we briefly show that further accurate processing of such compounds into thin films and hybrid structures, e.g. by laser ablation matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation and/or laser-induced forward transfer, may indeed provide simple and environmental friendly, state-of-the-art solutions for antimicrobial coatings.
