New Tridentate Schiff Base, Product of Condensation of 4-Methyl-7-hydroxy-8-formylcoumarin and N-Aminomercaptotriazole: Synthesis, Structure, and Complex Formation

Resumo

A new Schiff base was prepared by the reaction of 4-methyl-7-hydroxy-8-formylcoumarin with N-aminomercaptotriazole. In solution and in solid phase the compound was shown to exist in the thione form. The compound reacts with Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions depending on the metal salt to give complexes of composition ML₂ or MHLX, where HL is monodeprotonated form of the ligand. Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes were studied by spectral and magnetochemical methods. The Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes exhibit fluorescence.
