Abstract
A new bis-thiourea (BT) derivative was
successfully synthesized using both conventional reflux and microwave
irradiation methods. The microwave irradiation reaction yielded a greater
percentage yield of 73%, while the reflux heating yielded only 44%. The
microwave irradiation procedure takes a minimum of 10 min to complete, in
contrast to the reflux heating method, which takes 24 h. The compound was
characterised using a variety of spectroscopic techniques, including UV-Vis,
FTIR, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR),
and single crystal X-ray crystallography (XRC). It shows that BT has a high
ability to form hydrogen bonds of both intermolecular and intramolecular types,
as demonstrated by X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations. In addition,
this research provides insights into the possible uses of BT in coordination
chemistry involving metal ions, such as a copper ions.
Through the use of density-functional theory (DFT) and UV-Vis investigations,
it is envisaged that the BT compound has a strong tendency to form stable
copper ion complexes. This is supported by the optimal energy value E(UB3LYP)
observed for the Cu(II) complex.

Abstrak
Dalam penyelidikan ini, sebatian bis-tiourea, BT telah berjaya disintesis menggunakan kaedah konvensional (refluks) dan kaedah penyinaran mikrogelombang. Kaedah penyinaran mikrogelombang memberikan peratusan hasil yang tinggi iaitu 73%, manakala kaedah refluks memberikan hanya 44%. Kaedah penyinaran mikrogelombang memerlukan masa hanya 10 minit untuk selesai berbanding dengan kaedah refluks memerlukan masa sehingga 24 jam. Pencirian struktur sebatian dijalankan menggunakan pelbagai kaedah spektroskopi iaitu spektroskopi ultra lembayung - boleh nampak (ULBN), spektroskopi Fourier transformasi inframerah (FTIR), spektroskopi resonans magnetik nukleus 1H dan 13C
(1H-RMN dan 13C-RMN) dan kristalografi sinar-X hablur tunggal (X-Ray). Berdasarkan daripada kajian X-ray dan kajian teori fungsi ketumpatan (DFT), sebatian BT mempunyai keupayaan yang tinggi membentuk ikatan hidrogen secara intramolekul dan intermolekul. Lebih-lebih lagi, kajian ini memberikan penggunaan sebatian BT dalam kimia pengikatan melibatkan ion logam seperti ion kuprum. Melalui kajian fungsi ketumpatan (DFT) dan pemerhatian ULBN, sebatian BT berupaya membentuk kompleks ion kuprum yang stabil. Ini disokong oleh oleh pemerhatian ke atas kompleks Cu(II) melalui nilai tenaga optimum E(UB3LYP).
Kata kunci: Hablur tunggal; pengoptimuman DFT; terbitan bis-tiourea; tindak balas sinaran mikrogelombang
