Abstract

A novel hybrid ligand 2b (3,5-bis((E)-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)amino)-N-(2hydroxyphenyl)benzamide) was obtained from the amidation reaction between Schiff base 1b (3,5-bis((E)-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)amino)benzoic acid) and 2hydroxyaniline by using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The coordination of 2b with zinc ions...
