Cyclic voltammetry Studies of bis [5-phenylazo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde]-4, 4′- diiminodiphenyl ether and its amine derivative

Abstract

The azoimine ligand, bis [5-phenylazo-2- ydroxybenzaldehyde] -4, 4′- diaminophenyl ether (2) was synthesized by reducing the imine group of the azoimine form bis[5- phenylazo-2- ydroxybenzaldehyde] -4,4′-diiminophenyl ether (1), conducted by the condensation of 5-phenylazo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4,4′(diamino-diphenyl) ether. The compounds (1) and (2) were characterized using elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra. The electrochemical study has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry technique
