Abstract
Four neutral complexes were synthesized by reaction of tridentate N-salicylidene-N′-aroylhydrazine ligands with zinc(II) acetate and pyridine as a further ligand. The O,N,O-chelating molecules N-4- [octyloxy(phenoxy)]salicylidene-N′-fluorobenzoylhydrazine (L1), N-4-[octyloxy(phenoxy)]salicylidene-N′-(benzothiazolyl)hydrazine (L 2), N-4-[octyloxy(phenoxy)]salicylidene-N′- cyanobenzoylhydrazine (L3), and N-4-[octyloxy(phenoxy)]salicylidene- N′-nitrobenzoylhydrazine (L4) gave dinuclear O-bridged complexes Zn2Li2Py2n (n = 1 or 2 in a special case). The ligands and complexes were characterized by mass spectrometry and 1H NMR, UV/Vis, photoluminescence (PL), and FTIR spectroscopy. The structures of the complexes were solved by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Nematogenic phase behavior was detected for some ligands by thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) and optical observations. The solution and solid-state photoluminescence spectra were recorded and show that the ligands are roughly nonfluorescent, whereas all of the complexes show noteworthy emission in widely different spectral regions. The photoluminescence maxima of the complexes in the solid state are dependent on the acceptor group, and medium-to-high PL quantum yields were recorded for all of the crystalline complexes. Both periodic and molecular DFT calculations were performed to rationalize the absorbance of these complexes at the "one-particle" level. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
