Synthesis, crystal structure and excellent photoluminescence properties of copper (II) and cobalt (II) complexes with Bis (1[(4-butylphenyl)imino]methyl naphthalen-2-ol) Schiff base

Copper (II) and Cobalt (II) metal complexes (4a- and 4b-complexes) using Schiff base ligand 1-[(4- butylphenyl)imino]methyl naphthalen-2-ol (3) have been synthesized. The single crystals of Copper (II) and Cobalt (II) complex phosphors were grown and characterized by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR), single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy).
