Abstract
A new tripodal ligand, N,N′,N″-tri(salicylaldehyde)triaminotriethylamine (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectroscopy, MS, and X-ray crystallography. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the three chains of the ligand form a cup-like structure. The ligand’s magnesium(II) complex has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, and IR and UV spectroscopy. The luminescence properties of the ligand and its magnesium(II) complex were investigated in DMF, CH3OH, and CH3CH2OH solution and in the solid state at room temperature.
