Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Activity of Imidazole-Based Selone Complexes

Abstract

Novel imidazole selone complexes under a super crowded environment are reported for the first time. The super bulky selone antimony complexes, were isolated from the reactions. The thermal property of these antimony selone complexes was also investigated. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are an on going work to understand the nature of orbitals and bonding situations. The unequal interaction between selenium and antimony obtained using Wiberg Bond Indices (WBIs) is fully consistent with the single-crystal X-ray studies on going work.
