<p>This brief report outlines the synthesis and analysis of symmetrical dinuclear Ag(I) di-<em>N</em>-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex, primarily derived from tetrakis-benzimidazolium salt. The symmetrical tetrakis-imidazolium salt was synthesized by reacting 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(bromomethyl)benzene with the imidazole moiety of <strong>1</strong><strong>‧</strong><strong>Br</strong>. These salt were then transformed into their respective complex through an <em>in-situ </em>deprotonation reaction with Ag₂O, utilizing different salt-to-metal molar ratio, resulting in the establishment of dinuclear Ag(I) di-NHC complex designated as <strong>Ag1</strong>. The structures of both the tetrakis-imidazolium (<strong>1</strong><strong>‧</strong><strong>Br</strong>) salt and the Ag(I) di-NHC complex <strong>Ag1</strong> were determined using a combination of spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR), CHN elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the macrocyclic complex <strong>Ag1</strong> suggests a crystalline structure resembling a cylinder. Further exploration on the application of the complex could be done in the future on as such the antimicrobial, anticancer, catalysis and many more.</p>
