Platinum(II) Complex of Benzimidazole-Derived N-Heterocyclic Carbene: Synthesis, Characterization, and Photophysical Properties
Main Article Content
Abstract
Platinum(II) complex of benzimidazole-derived N-heterocyclic carbene with formula [PtCl2(DMSO)(bimy)] was successfully synthesized via one pot reaction between 1,3-diisopropyl benzimidazolium (bimy×HBr), Ag2O and [PtCl2(DMSO)] (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide). The complex was characterized by means of multinuclear (1H and 13C{1H}) magnetic resonance and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). The UV-Vis absorption spectra of the compound show an absorption shoulder above 300 nm. Under excitation by 285 nm UV lamp, solution of the compound in DCM is highly emissive showing emission maxima at around 410 nm. DFT calculations were also carried out for the complex to gain insight on its electronic structure and the nature of electronic transition involved in the absorption/emission process.
