N,O‐Bidentate Schiff Bases as Novel Ligands and Self‐Assembled Three‐Dimensional Supramolecular Complex of Silver(I): Syntheses and Characterization

Abstract

Abstract Three novel N,O‐bidentate Schiff bases H2L1, H2L2, and H2L3 have been prepared and investigated. H2L1 underwent self‐assembly with silver(I) nitrate forming the supramolecular complex [Ag2(H2L1)3] n (NO3)2n , whereas H2L2 and H2L3 do not form supramolecular complexes due to the chain length of the bidentate Schiff bases, which prevent Ag–N interactions. The results indicate the effect of the chain length of diamine, the presence of active phenol group, and the arrangement of silver(I) interactions on the formation of three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular complex.
