Abstract:
A series of novel Schiff's bases have been synthesized from 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde. The presence of hydroxyl group ortho to the benzothiazolyl group as well as the imine linkage lead to the occurrence of excited state intramolecular proton transfer process. The computational strategy was used to study the ESIPT process of the synthesized Schiff's bases, which revealed surprisingly that the keto form predominantly exists in the ground state contradicting the ESIPT process. Density functional theory and time dependent density functional theory have been used to investigate the structural parameters and photophysical properties in different solvents of one of the Schiff's bases. The experimental results correlate well with the computed results. All Schiff's bases show good thermal stability.
