Abstract
Some nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes of the type [Ni(L)(phen/bipy)]X (1a-6a) and [Zn(L) (phen/bipy)]X (1b-6b) (where L=2-{(E)-[(4-trimethylsilylethynylphenyl)imino]methyl}-4-(4-nitro phenylethynyl)phenol; phen=1, 10-phenanthroline, bipy=2, 2´-bipyridine; X=ClO4-, BF4-, PF6-) have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FTIR, 1H NMR and mass spectral studies. The molecular structure of L was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The electrochemical behaviour of the Ni(II) complexes indicate that the phen complexes appears at more positive potential as compared to those for bipy complexes, as a consequence of its strong π-acidic character. TGA was carried out to study the thermal behavior of the complexes. Room temperature luminescence is observed for all complexes corresponds to π→π* ILCT transition. The size of the counter anion and heterocyclic coligands phen and bipy shows marked effect on emission properties of the complexes.
