In this study, novel 1,3-substituted phenyl-5-phenylformazans were synthesized with eNO 2 , eCl, eBr, eCH 3 , eOCH 3 groups in the o-, m-, and p-position of the 1-phenyl ring and eNO 2 , eOCH 3 groups in the m-and p-position of the 3-phenyl ring. Their structures were elucidated by elemental analysis and GCemass and their spectral behaviors were investigated with 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR, UVevis spectra. The absorption characteristics of the compounds were examined by UVevis spectra. There was a shift in l max whose amount was dependent upon the type and position of the substituent on the ring. A linear correlation was obtained between this substituent effect and Hammett substituent coefficients.
1-[(NO 2 , COOH)-substituted phenyl]-3,5-diphenylformazans were synthesized. The compounds were characterized by infrared (IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13 C NMR spectra, elemental analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. From the UV-vis spectra of substituted formazans it was seen that k max values were shorter than the k max value of unsubstituted formazan. It was observed that the shift values were dependent on the type and position of the substituents. A correlation between Hammett substituent coefficients and k max values was obtained. The oxidation peak potentials of substituted formazans were found more anodic than that of unsubstituted formazan. The oxidation mechanism was a single step for the NO 2 -substituted formazans, and two steps for COOH-substituted formazans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
