Abstract:
Tridentate triazole based Schiff base 4-salicylideneamino-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione has been found to selectively detect toxic aromatic amines such as aniline and benzene-1,4-diamine by simple titration techniques like UV-visible, fluorescence spectral studies (PL) and 1H NMR titrations. The Schiff base receptor utilizes, thione sulfur, NH-thione and the phenolic hydroxyl group to form hydrogen bonded adduct of aniline and benzene-1,4-diamine with high binding affinity, followed by a slow removal of the corresponding hydrogens thus providing a promising candidate and an unique receptor for toxic aromatic amines.
