The unsymmetrically substituted imidazolium salt 1-ethyl-3-allyl- imidazolium bromide 1 was synthesized by treatment of imidazole with one equivalent each of n-butyl lithium and ethyl bromide followed by treatment with one equivalent of allyl bromide. The symmetrically substituted derivatives 1,3-diallyl-imidazolium bromide 2 and 1,3-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-imidazolium bromide 3 were obtained from imidazole and two equivalents of allyl bromide or 4-bromo-2-methyl-2-butenyl bromide, respectively, in the presence of sodium hydrogencarbonate as a base. The imidazolium bromides 1-3 react with Pd(OAc)2 to afford the palladium(II) dicarbene complexes trans-[PdBr2(L)2] (L = 1-ethyl-3-allyl-imidazolin-2- ylidene, 4; L= 1,3-diallyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene, 5; L= 1,3-di(3-methyl-2- butenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene, 6) by in situ deprotonation of the imidazolium salts. The X-ray structure analyses of 4-6 show all three complexes to be mononuclear with palladium(II) coordinated in a square-planar fashion by two carbene and two bromo ligands.

A series of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors, 1-methoxylethyl-3- allylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (1), 1-ethyl-3-allylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (2), and 1-pentyl-3-allylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (3) were synthesized. These salts were treated with Ag2O to afford their corresponding mononuclear Ag(I)-NHC complexes, namely 1-methoxylethyl-3- allylimidazolium silver(I) hexafluorophosphate (4), 1-ethyl-3-allylimidazolium silver(I) hexafluorophosphate (5), and 1-pentyl-3-allylimidazolium silver(I) hexafluorophosphate (6), respectively. These compounds were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopy techniques. Compounds 4 and 5 were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and their stability in solution was investigated and found to be acceptable for the antibacterial studies. These new NHC precursors and their respective Ag-NHC complexes were screened for their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 12600) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). Compounds 1-3 showed no inhibition, whereas 4-6 inhibited the growth of these bacteria. The nuclease activities of the reported compounds against plasmid DNA and RNA were assessed by gel electrophoresis, and the results indicate that complexes 5 and 6 can degrade both DNA and RNA in the absence of an oxidant.
