Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Novel Enamine Containing Coumarin and Phosphonium Fragments

摘要

Condensation of 4-hydroxy-3-formylcoumarin with 4-aminobenzyl(triphenyl)phosphonium bromide has led to the formation of a phosphonium salt existing in DMSO solution as a mixture of two enamine forms, Z and E, according to NMR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical simulations data. Basing on the obtained salt, the ML2 metal chelates of zinc(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) have been synthesized. Luminescence properties of the ligand and its complex with zinc have been studied.
