    Dinuclear N-heterocyclic carbene silver complexes: Synthesis, luminescence and catalytic studies
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV) Atli, DD; Gülle, S
    A new dibenzimidazole compound (1) and three dibenzimidazolium salts (2a-2c) were prepared. Reactions of these salts with silver(I) oxide in methanol led to dinuclear N-heterocyclic carbene silver complexes (3a-3c). All of the compounds were characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and elemental analyses. Molecular weights of the silver complexes were confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Preliminary catalytic studies using all the silver complexes were performed on three-component coupling reaction of p-formaldehyde, piperidine and phenylacetylene. Complexes 3a and 3c exhibited good catalytic activities under neat conditions. The silver complexes showed luminescence properties in CH3CN at room temperature. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
