Antimicrobial Activity of Anionic Bis(<i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene) Silver Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The antimicrobial properties of a series of anionic bis(carbene) silver complexes Na₃[Ag(NHC^R)₂] were investigated (2a-2g and 2c', where NHC^R is a 2,2'-(imidazol-2-ylidene)dicarboxylate-type N-heterocyclic carbene). The complexes were synthesized by the interaction of imidazolium dicarboxylate compounds with silver oxide in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide. Complexes 2f,g were characterized analytically and spectroscopically, and the ligand precursor 1f and complexes 2c and 2g were structurally identified by X-ray diffraction methods. The anions of 2c and 2g, [Ag(NHC^R)₂]^3-, showed a typical linear disposition of C_carbene
