Abstract

The complexes [Cd(cpbi)Cl2 ]·(H2 O), [Hg2 (cpbi)2 Cl4 ] 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.
