Synthesis, Characterization, In Silico And In Vitro Evaluations Of Benzimidazolium Derived N-heterocyclic Carbenes And Their Silver (I)-nhc Complexes

Two new series of asymmetrical benzimidazolium-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands and their Ag(I)-NHC complexes were synthesised and characterised using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Fourier-transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) spectroscopies and CHN elemental analysis. The...
