Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and DFT Calculations of the Novel Binuclear Copper(I) Complex Containing 2-Benzimidazolethiole and Triphenylphosphine Ligands.

The reaction of 2-benzimidazolethiole (2-BIT) with copper dichloride in the presence of two equivalents of triphenylphosphine led to a binuclear complex of the type [Cu(µ-S-2-BIT)2(Ph3P)2Cl2]: dichloridobis(μ-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazole-2-thione)bis(triphenylphosphi ne)-di-copper. The Cu(I) compound has been fully identified by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT-IR, UV/Vis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD study reveals that the complex has distorted tetrahedral geometry around the Cu(I)center, which contains two bridge sulfur atoms.

Zinc(II) Complex Containing Oxazole Ring: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Characterization, DFT Calculations, and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis.

A new complex of Zn(II), with 5-chloro-2-methylbenzoxazole ligand (L), has been synthesized by the reaction of zinc dichloride with the ligand (L= C8H6ClNO) in ethanol solution: dichloridobis(5-chloro-2-methyl-1,3-benzoxazole)-zinc(II), C16H12Cl4N2O2Zn. The synthesized complex has been fully characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT‑IR, UV‑Vis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD).  The XRD analysis reveals that the complex has a 1:2 metal-to-ligand ratio.
