This project is an overview of the synthesis and spectral properties of several new novel Ag(I) and Cu(I) complexes containing azolate bridging ligands as well as a series of phenanthroline based ligand. Furthermore we will focus on the effect of the different synthetic routes on the physical and photophysical properties.  Comparison between the resulting products using solvent-mediated synthesis (using Schlenk technique, under nitrogen atmosphere) versus solventless synthesis (using mechanical grinding and heating) will be made. The photoluminescence spectra  of the resulting mixed-ligand metal complexes will be presented alongside structural data including x-ray crystallographic data, FT-IR spectra, NMR spectra, UV-Visible spectra, elemental analysis  and thermogravimetric analyses, in an attempt to draw further conclusions about the correlation between the photophysical, structural, and thermal properties of these metal complexes in comparison with their single-ligand analogues.
