Abstract
Three Schiff base ligands such as 2‑[(2‑Hydroxy‑3‑methoxy‑benzylidene)‑amino]‑2‑hydroxymethyl‑propane‑1,3‑diol (HL1), 2‑[(2‑Hydroxy‑benzylidene)‑amino]‑2‑hydroxymethyl‑propane‑1,3‑diol (HL2), 2‑[(3,5‑Dichloro‑2‑hydroxy‑benzylidene)‑amino]‑2‑hydroxymethyl‑propane‑1,3‑diol (HL3) have been synthesized by condensation of aldehydes (such as 3,5‑Dichloro‑2‑hydroxy benzaldehyde, 2‑Hydroxy‑benzaldehyde, and 2‑Hydroxy‑3‑methoxy‑benzaldehyde) with Tris‑(hydroxymethyl)amino methane and characterized by IR, UV–vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Then all these three ligands have been used to prepare Pb(II) complexes by reaction with lead(II) acetate tri-hydrate in methanol. In view of analytical and spectral (IR, UV–vis and Mass) studies, it has been concluded that, except HL2, other two ligands form 1:1 metal complexes (1 and 3) with lead. Between two complexes, complex 3 is highly fluorescent and this property has been used to identify the pollutant nitroaromatics. Finally, the quenching mechanism has been established by means of spectroscopic investigation.
