Abstract:
Schiff base derivative synthesized by the reaction of 2-(methylthio) aniline and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde exhibits keto-amine tautomerism in methanol solvent. The fluorescence quenching of N-(2-methyl thiophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthadiamine (NMTHN) by TiO2 nanoparticles in methanol has been studied. The excitation and emission peaks have been observed at 439 and 509nm respectively. The apparent association constant has been deduced from the absorption spectral changes of NMTHN-TiO2 nanoparticles using Bensi-Hildebrand equation. The number of binding sites and the binding constant have been calculated from the relevant fluorescence data. Quenching of fluorescence of NMTHN by TiO2 could be due to a dynamic mode. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations also have been performed to study the charge distribution of NMTHN-TiO2 both in ground and excited states. The HOMO-LUMO analysis of NMTHN-TiO2 in the ground state has been made.
