This work involved the synthesis and characterization of 1,3-disubstituted
benzimidazolium salts and their silver(I)-NHC complexes via A-alkylation method
and silver base route. The results from Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ‘H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and CHN elemental analysis have revealed that the 1,3-disubstituted benzimidazolium salts and their silver(I)-NHC complexes
were successfully prepared.
