Abstract

A new fluorenyl-substituted dioxotetraamine salicylaldehyde Schiff-base ligand (L1) has been synthesized by the non-template 1 + 2 condensation of ligand 6-(9-fluorenyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane-5,7-dione (L) with salicylaldehyde. From reduction of L1 with an excess of NaBH4, a ditopic dioxotetraamine ligand (L2) has been obtained. The copper(II) complex of L1 has been synthesized and its properties were examined by ES-MS and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility as well as its crystal structure being determined. Detailed studies have been made on solution chemistry of Cu(II) complex of L2 by pH-potentiometric and fluorometric titration.
