Abstract
Disperse dyeing of nylon and wool fibers with two new nanosized copper(II) complexes including phosphoric triamide ligands with formula Cu(NO3)2L2 (1) and Cu(CH3COO)2L2 (2) where L=4-NO2C6H4NHP(O)(NC4H8O)2 (A) was performed successfully. Both complexes 1 and 2 produced yellow and green colored nylon and wool fabrics, respectively. The complexes were synthesized by ultrasonic method and characterized by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR, Fourier-transform infrared, photoluminescence, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field-emission microscopy and elemental analysis. The FE-SEM micrographs revealed that the nanoparticles of these compounds are spherical in morphology and ∼17–20nm in size. Very appropriate washfastness while poor lightfastness results were deduced for the dyed fibers. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the dyes 1, 2 and dyed wool/nylon fibers against the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis bacterium illustrated increasing in the antibacterial effect by increasing the dye concentration from 0.1% to 0.5% o.w.f. on both wool and nylon dyed fibers.
