Spectroscopic studies of new symmetrical schiff base compounds derived from 7-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline with aliphatic and aromatic diamines

ABSTRACT

The electronic absorption spectra of some new symmetrical Schiff bases derived from 7-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline [FHQ] with aliphatic and aromatic diamines are investigated in organic solvents of varying polarities. The important bands in the IR spectra of the compounds as well as the main signals in the 1HNMR spectra were discussed in relation to molecular structure. Mass spectra and the mechanism leading to different fragment ions of the compounds were also discussed
