Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization and Theoretical Study of Schiff Bases Derived from Phenylsulfonylamide
The synthesis, characterization, and theoretical study of two Schiff bases of ligands derived from condensation of sulphoacetamide sodium with 4-methoxy benzaldehyde and salicalaldehyde arereported. Spectroscopic techniques, including IR, UV, 1H NMR, and CHN analysis were used to identify the product. The calculated HOMO is largely localized on the N-benzylideneaniline fragment, while the calculated LUMO of the studied molecule is seen to be substantially localized along the C–C axis of the conjugated system.
