Transition metal complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) containing benzimidazole have
been at the center of intensive research in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis over the
years [1]. The electronic and steric properties of NHC complexes can be easily modified. This makes
carbene complexes indispensable in homogeneous catalysis. These complexes also have greater stability
against air, moisture and heat compared to their phosphine analogues [2]. In addition to catalysis, M-NHC
complexes are also widely used in the medical field. In addition to their antimicrobial effects, these
compounds have also been shown to be active against cancer. Research on the antimicrobial and anticancer
properties of silver has continued to increase in recent years and there are now many different silver
complexes that exhibit a wide spectrum of antimicrobial and anticancer activity [3]. The current research
work aims to provide alternatives to some products. In this study, a new 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3-(alkyl)-5,6
dimethylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene]silver(I) complexes were synthesized. The structures of all compounds
were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy techniques.properties.
