Metal complexes have attracted great interest due to their potential application as luminescent materials in organic light emitting diodes (OLED) in the present technological displays. Through systematic study on the variation of ligands, structural and bonding modes of different metal centers, the structure-property relationships of the various classes of luminescent transition metal complexes can be obtained. The present research reports the synthesis and luminescence studies of some metal-diimine complexes. A diimine ligand namely N,Nʹ-bis-(salycylidene)-4,4ʹ-diaminodiphenylether (3a) was prepared through enamination reaction between diaminodiphenylether with salicyldehyde in a 1:2 molar ratio. Subsequently, the corresponding Zn(II) (4a) and Cd(II) (4b) complexes were prepared in the presence of base according to a stoichiometric ratio of metal:ligand:NaOH=1:1:2. The synt.. View More»
