Abstract

Two new neutral isomorphous Al^III and In^III complexes [(M(pbm)₂(μ-OH))₂]·8C₂H₅OH·2H₂O [Hpbm = 2-(2-hydroxylphenyl)benzimidazole, M = Al (1) and In (2)] featuring [M₂(μ-OH)₂] cores have been synthesized. The molecular orbital calculations show that the luminescent properties are π→π* transition-like in nature. The spectroscopic variations along with the effect of the metal core are also discussed.
