Abstract:
New unsymmetrical [N2O2] tetradentate Schiff base complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and VO(II) were synthesized by template condensation of the tetradentate precursor 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione mono-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone with o-hydroxybenzaldehyde or its 5-phenylazo derivative. They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, electron spin resonance, and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and magnetic measurements. The crystal structures of five of them have been determined by X-ray diffraction using, in some cases, synchrotron radiation. These compounds are characterized by a large thermal stability; their decomposition temperatures range
from 240 up to 310°C. Complexes with the phenylazo substituent were found to possess a large second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response, as determined both by measurements of solution-phase direct current electricfield-induced second harmonic generation and by theoretical time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)
calculations. The molecular hyperpolarizability was found to decrease in the order Zn(II) > Cu(II) > Ni(II) ~ VO(II).
The active role of the metal in determining the NLO properties of the complexes was shown through an analysis
of their UV-vis spectra, which revealed the presence of metal-to-ligand (in closed-shell complexes) and ligandto-
metal (in open-shell complexes) charge-transfer bands together with intra-ligand charge-transfer transitions.
Assignment of the bands was based on the analysis of the TDDFT computed spectra.
