| Abstract |
The axially chiral ligand of R-BINOL scaffold was synthesized by a series of manipulations which involved different chemical reactions to obtain the desired sliver(I) and gold(I) ( (M =Ag and Au) complexes. Enantiopure R-BINOL was employed as a basic unit to synthesize a benzimidazole based bis-NHC ligand 1g which was obtained through the formation of different intermediate 1(a-f) compounds. The newly synthesized bis-NHC ligand precursor (1g) and its corresponding (1h) and (1i) complexes were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. The geometries of the optimized structure of the complexes 1h and 1i were computed at the B3LYP/SDD, 6-31G(d) level. Low temperature fluorescence spectroscopic studies did not show any evidence for the weak metal-metal interaction in these complexes. SYNOPSIS Synthesis, characterization of (M = Ag and Au) (1h) and (1i) type sliver(I) and gold(I) complexes are reported. Molecular structures of these benzimidazole based, axially chiral complexes of R-BINOL scaffolds were determined by the computational studies. The results of spectroscopic and analytical data as well as the computational study show that the ligand (1g) prefers to form mononuclear bis-NHC silver(I) and gold(I) complexes in the given conditions. |
