Abstract
The complexes [Cd(cpbi)Cl2]·(H2O), [Hg2(cpbi)2Cl4] and [Hg(cpbi)Br2] (cpbi = [5-chloro-2-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazole]) have been synthesised using solvent evaporation reactions and structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The first complex displays a one-dimensional (1-D) chain structure, the second has a binuclear structure, while the third is mononuclear. The complexes show different luminescence properties.
