Abstract

Three new N-carbazole acetyl hydrazones Schiff-bases were synthesized by the condensation reaction between N-carbazolyl acetyl hydrazine and the substituted benzaldehydes in anhydrous ethanol, and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), 1H-NMR and mass spectral analysis. The relationships between the substituent type and the UV, fluorescence spectral properties as well as the fluorescence quantum yields of the title Schiff-bases were also investigated. The results indicate that the fluorescence quantum yields of the title Schiff-bases with accepting electron groups are decreased, while that of the title Schiff-bases with donating electron group are increased. The fluorescence quantum yield of the 2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetohydrazide is up to 0.631..
