In this study, azo dyes containing an imine group were synthesised by coupling phydroxybenzylidene aniline with the diazonium salts of p-toluidine, 4-aminophenol, aniline, pchloroaniline, p-fluoroaniline and p-nitroaniline. The compounds were characterised by melting point, elemental, UV-Vis and IR analyses as well as 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR spectroscopies. Moreover, the experimental data were supplemented with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The experimental data on FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra of the compounds were compared with theoretical results. The DFT calculations were performed to obtain the ground state geometries of the compounds using the B3LYP hybrid functional level with 6-311++g(2d,2p) basis set. Frontier molecular orbital energies, band gap energies and some chemical reactivity parameters, such as chemical hardness and electronegativity, were calculated and compared with experimental values. A significant correlation was observed between the dipole moment and polarities of the solvents and the absorption wavelength of the compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
