Synthesis, characterization and docking studies of Sliver(I)- -Nheterocyclic carbene ligated Schiff base complexes

Abstract

  This study presents the synthesis, characterization, and molecular docking studies of a novel Schiff base functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene. The synthesis involved the coordination of Schiff Base/NHC ligand precursor (1M) with silver(I) ions, yielding Silver(I)- Schiff base /NHC Complex (1N). Characterization of (1M) and(1N) were performed using various spectroscopic techniques, including NMR, IR and UV-Vis, supplemented by elemental analysis. Molecular docking studies were conducted to explore potential biological activities of the synthesized complex. The results demonstrate successful synthesis of the Schiff base functionalized NHC complex of silver(I) and provide valuable insights into its structural properties and potential biological applications.
