Synthesis and Characterization of new D-π-D Type Schiff Base Ligands by 1,10-Phenanthroline Derivatives and its Complexes with Ruthenium(II)

Abstract

The Schiff base ligands L(1) and L(2) with D-pi-D type have been synthesized from the reaction of 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline and 5,6-diamino-1, 10-phenanthroline with 2-(hexyloxy)benzaldehyde. The ruthenium(II) complexes of these ligands were prepared and characterized. The ligands L(1), L(2) and ruthenium complexes have been characterized by FTIR, UV-visible, (1)H NMR and fluorescence spectra, as well as, elemental analyses and mass spectra.
