Abstract:The Schiff base N,N-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine (salophen) was prepared by the condensation of salicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine in ethanol solution. Two new Zn(II) and Ni (II) salophen complexes, were synthesized, fully characterized by infrared (IR), 1H NMR spectroscopic measurements, UV-Vis spectra, photoluminescence (PL), and X-ray diffraction. The prepared complexes were used as phosphors to fabricate complexes/PMMA slab-based luminescent solar concentrators (LSC). The thermal stability of … Show more
