Synthesis of new potential ligands for metal complex wires: 2-pyridinmethyl-{4-[(2-pyridinylmethylimino)-methyl]-benzylidene}amines

Abstract

Two new simple bis-bidentate ligands-2-pyridinamine were prepared in good yield by condensation of readily available and inexpensive chemicals; 2-amino-methylpyridine 2 or 2-amino-para-methyl-pyridine 4 with terephthaladehyde 1. The synthesis and characterization of these two polydentate ligands are described. The thermo-stability of both compounds 3 and 5 has been calculated.
