Abstract: Tetrakis-benzimidazoles are tetrapodal compounds with multidentate ligand properties, including at least tetradentate provided by the C=N nitrogen atoms in each benzimidazole unit, and they can be obtained in their many derivatives. There are also tetrakis-benzimidazole derivatives that contain atoms such as N and O in the bridge units and thus exhibit various donor properties up to octadentate. Because of these properties, they are similar to EDTA (ethylenediamminetetraacetic acid) which is a medication used in the management and treatment of heavy metal toxicity, and attract the attention of researchers. The applications of tetrakis-benzimidazole derivatives and various metal complexes in many fields such as corrosion inhibitor, catalyst, enzyme inhibitor, superoxide dismutase, catalase activity, superoxide oxidase, DNA affinity, determination of H2O2, were investigated. In this study, a comprehensive review was conducted on tetrakis-benzimidazoles: their synthesis routes, properties, various metal complexes, features and application areas have been reviewed and compiled in order to be useful for researchers who will work in this field.
