Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes containing 2-(2-(5-substitued isoxazol-3-yl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione ligands: Synthesis, spectral and thermal characterizations

摘要

Two new hydrazone chelating ligands, 2-(2-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (HL~1) and 2-(2-(5-tert-butylisoxazol-3-yl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (HL~2), and their nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes were synthesized using the procedure of diazotization, coupling and metallization. Their structures were postulated based on elemental analysis, ~1H NMR, ESI-MS, FT-IR spectra and UV—vis electronic absorption spectra. Smooth films of these complexes on K9 glass substrates were prepared using spin-coating and their absorption properties were evaluated. The thermal properties of the metal(II) complexes were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG). Different thermodynamic and kinetic parameters namely activation energy (E~*), enthalpy of activation (triangle openH~*), entropy of activation (triangle openS~*) and the free energy change of activation (triangle openG~*) were calculated using the Coats—Redfern (CR) equation.
