“…On the other hand, the aromatic protons signal at 8.79, 8.44, 8.1, 7.87, 7.65 ppm were shifted upfield to 8.54, 8.06, 7.76, 7.53, 7.38 ppm while the other signals at 8.6, 7.79, 7.68, 7.61 ppm were shifted downfield to 8.63, 8.73, 8.33, 8.23 ppm in presence of Zn 2+ ion, respectively. These spectra exhibited the binding nature of H 10 L withZn 2+ ion in 1:1 stiochiometric ratio[68,69]. Moreover, these overall changes in the chemical shifts of the proton in presence of Zn 2+ ions suggested that the binding of H 10 L to Zn 2+ forms a rigid system by a strong complexation with H 10 L via O-H and N heteroatoms.…”
