General Description

1-Benzyl-2-methylimidazole is a nitrogen heterocycle and forms mixed ligand Pt(II) complexes. 1-Benzyl-2-methylimidazole on treatement with ammonia and sodium yields 2-methylimidazole. Deposition of plasma-polymerized 1-benzyl-2-methylimidazole (PPBMI) thin films onto glass substrates by glow discharge technique have been reported.
