Synthesis and EPR Studies of Copper Metal Complexes of Dyes Derived from Remazol Red B, Procino Yellow, Fast Green FCF, Brilliant Cresyl Blue with Copper Acetate Monohydrate

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of four new solid dye complexes, CuL2(L= 2-[2-methoxy-5-(propane-1-sulfonyl)-phenyl azo]-naphthalen-1-ol, 5-{[3-(4,6-dihydroxy-[1,3,5]tri azine-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-hydrazones}-1-ethyl-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid diethylamide, 4-{bis-[4-(benzyl-ethyl-amino)-phenyl]-methyl}-phenol and 7-imino-4-methyl-7H-phenoxazine-1,3-diamine) is reported. The mode for ligand coordination has been determined by IR and EPR spectra. The carboxyl and amino group of dyes coordinates to the Cu(II) atom as a unidentate or as a chelating ligand.
