Abstract:
Herein, the spectral and electrochemical characterizations of three different substituted N-phthalimide azo-azomethine (NAA) dyes (L) containing an o-hydroxy group and their NAA-M(II) chelates [M(II): Cu, Ni, Co, Pb] were reported by using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and potentiometric and voltamperometric techniques. The pK value of the dyes as well as the stoichiometry and stability of the NAA-metal chelates were studied, and the stoichiometry was found to be mostly 1:2 (ML2) with high complex stability constant values. The sensor activity of N-phthalimide azo-azomethine derivatives toward pH and metal ions has been also investigated and tested for indicator application in acid-base analysis and detection of Cu(II) ions in real samples of surface river water using voltamperometric detection. The results showed that one of the ligands possesses the highest electrochemical response upon binding to copper ions and could be successfully used in the analysis of copper in water at a concentration range of the analyte from 3.7 × 10-7 to 5.0 × 10-6 mol L-1, with analytical characteristics of the method being Sr = 1.5%, LOD = 3.58 µg L-1 and LOQ =11.9 µg L-1.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
