ABSTRACT. The N,N′-dipyridoxyl(1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane) (=H2L) Schiff-base has been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1 H NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Its optimized geometry and theoretical vibrational frequencies have been computed using density functional theory (DFT) method via the B3LYP functional. Also, its 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical shifts have been calculated at the same computational level. In optimized geometry of the H2L, the two pyridine rings are perpendicular to each other. The phenolic hydrogens are engaged in intramolecular-hydrogen bonds with the azomethine nitrogens.
