Abstract

Chemical and electrochemical syntheses of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes based on tetradentate Schiff bases (H2L1 and H2L2) resulting from condensation of 2-tosylaminobenzaldehyde with 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanediamine or 4,9-dioxa-1,12-dodecanediamine were performed. The structure, composition, and properties of the complexes were studied by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, and UV spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes luminesce in a DMF solution in the blue spectral region (λPL = 425–433 nm), the photoluminescence quantum yield φ being 0.25–0.30. Multilayer zinc(II)- and cadmium(II)-based electroluminescent structures with green-blue emission of the exciplex nature were fabricated.
