Synthesis, photoluminescence and forensic applications of blue light emitting azomethine-zinc (II) complexes of bis(salicylidene) cyclohexyl-1,2-diamino based organic ligands

The synthesized complexes have also been explored for forensic applications as fingerprint developing dyes. Apart from the excellent photoluminescent properties and forensic applications of the synthesized compounds, the scope of the work includes mild reaction conditions and better yield with easy of one pot synthesis by using readily available salicylaldehydes/2-hydroxy-1-napthaldehyde, cylohexyl-1,2-diamine and zinc acetate.
