In this study, a new NHC ligand precursor and its stable complexes were successfully synthesized. The complexes exhibited good catalytic performance and conducting polymer films were successfully synthesized using electrochemical methods.
In contrast to the large number of polymeric N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) there are relatively few examples of NHCs-containing conductive polymers. However, conducting polymers (CPs) could be excellent hosts for NHC compounds, as they can easily form polymer films electrochemically, and their optical & electrical properties can be easily tuned by electrochemically or changing bonding groups in their structure. In this work, the N,S-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursor, N-(4-butylcarbazole)benzothiazolium bromide (1) was prepared by solvent-free alkylation of benzothiazole by 9-(4-bromobutyl)carbazole with high efficiency. The air- and moisture-stable new piano-stool Ru(II)-N,S-NHC (2) and PEPPSI type Pd(II)-N,S-NHC (3) complexes, were synthesized and characterized by H-1- and C-13 NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis and ESI-MS spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. Further confirmations of structural details for benzothiazolium salt (1) and its Ru(II)-N,S-NHC complex (2) were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The catalytic performance of the complexes (2 and 3) in transfer hydrogenation (TH) of acetophenone and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides were also investigated, respectively. All compounds (1-3) were electrochemically polymerized and conducting polymer films with pendant carbene complex moieties were obtained. The electrical and optical properties of the resulting polymers were characterized via spectroelectrochemical studies.
