New silver complexes with ligands based on 4-substituted-3,6-dipyridin-2-ylpyridazines

Chapter I gives a brief introduction to supramolecular chemistry, silver chemistry,
pyridazine chemistry.
Chapter II discusses the general procedure used for this work. It introduces the
Sonogashira reaction used to prepare the ethynyl precursors, and the inverse
electron demand Diels Alder reaction used to synthesise all the ligands presented in
this work.
Chapter III describes the synthesis and the characterisation of phenyl substituted
pyridazines and their silver complexes. This chapter presents the crystal structure of
ligand 8.
Chapter IV discusses the synthesis and characterisation of the halogenated
pyridazine and their silver complexes. It also discusses the crystal structure of ligand
15 and complexes 15sc, 18sc and 20sc.
Chapter V describes the synthesis of diverse pyridazines. These ligands have
methoxy, cyano, tert-butyl phenyl substituents. It also shows the crystal structure of
ligand 34 and complexes 30sc, 39sc, 42sc, 43sc and 49sc.
Chapter VI discusses the synthesis and characterisation of pyridazine substituted
with alkyl chains. The crystal structure of complex 53sc is presented.
Chapter VII gives the conclusion to this work and a general overview of the ligands
and complexes synthesised in this thesis.
