Abstract:
A novel heterocyclic luminol derivative was synthesized by coupling diazotized 5-aminophthalhydrazide with 2-naphthol. This compound viz., Phthalhydrazide-5-azo-2-naphthol is versatile in forming stable metal complexes with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) ions under microwave assisted solvent free conditions. The ligand and the metal complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, UV-Visible, IR, 1H NMR, and ESR spectral studies wherever possible and applicable. The fluorescence spectra of the ligand and its metal complexes were also recorded. The fluorescence life time measurements were conducted and it was observed that binding of the ligand to the metal ion decreases the average life time of the metal complexes.

Photoluminescence: Applications
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
