New diaminomaleonitrile-based azo-azomethine dyes; synthesis, characterization and spectral properties
摘要:
New diaminomaleonitrile-based azo-azomethine dyes were synthesized via a condensation between 2,6-bis(N-(2-amino-1,2-dicyanoetheneimino))-4-methylphenol and 5-(4-substituted-phenyl)-azo-salicyladehyde. FT-IR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry studies as well as elemental analysis data revealed the symmetrical bis-iminated structures of the dyes. The electrochemical behavior of the dyes has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The effect of various solvents with different polarities on the UV-Vis spectra of the dyes was also studied. The thermal analysis data indicated that the framework of the dyes was stable up to 285 degrees C. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
