Abstract

A new imineoxime compound {(1E,2E)-(2-hydroxy-ethylimino)-naphthalene-2yl-ethanal oxime (heineoH)} and its palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes ([M(heineo)2]) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, UV–vis, elemental analysis, mass spectra and X-ray single crystal diffraction. [Pt(heineo)2] was obtained as a single crystal, while [Pd(heineo)2] was synthesized as a polycrystalline powder. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the [Pt(heineo)2] indicated that the platinum(II) ion is coordinated by two heineo ligands in a distorted square-planar geometry. DFT (B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and LANL2DZ) calculations on the ligand and its complexes were carried out to correlate the geometry and vibrational and electronic properties. Additionally, heineoH is fluorescent in EtOH at room temperature, but the fluorescence is quenched in the case of the metal complexes.
