A new class of acidic 1,3-disulfoimidazoliumchlorometallate ionic solid system is prepared.
All three materials are characterized by various analytical techniques such as NMR, elemental analysis, UV–vis, FT-IR, Raman, TGA, SEM-EDX etc.
Metal anion speciation regarding the structure is further confirmed by electronic spectra.
Calculated band gap energies prove these materials as better semiconductors.
Suitable to catalyze as heterogeneous acid catalyst for the synthesis of β–amino carbonyl compounds.
