“…2-Iodo-4,5-dimethylaniline and 4,5-dichloro-2-iodoaniline were converted into 2-amino-4,5dimethylbenzenethiol and 2-amino-4,5-dichlorobenzenethiol as per the procedures reported in the literature. 27,28 In our attempts to synthesise Schiff base ligands using aldehyde and amines, the prepared new ligands, i.e. (E)-3-(((2mercaptophenyl)imino)methyl)pyridine-2-thiol (MPPT), (E)-3-(((2-mercapto-4,5-dimethylphenyl)imino)methyl)pyridine-2-thiol (DMPMPT) and (E)-3-(((4,5-dichloro-2-mercaptophenyl)imino)methyl)pyridine-2-thiol (DCMPPT), containing two thiols and one imine group were characterized by mass, SEM, IR, Raman, UV and NMR spectral investigations.…”
