Abstract:

A triphenylamine hyper-branched Schiff base was prepared in a good yield and molecular weight using Schiff reaction between mono- and tri-formyl derivatives of Triphenylamine (TPA) and selected aromatic and aliphatic diamine compounds to give amine-imine multi-anchored product. Triphenylamine as electron donor and hole transport group was devised and synthesized and complexation of the multifunctional products isolated with metals such as Cu2+, Ni2+, Pt2+, Ni2+ was carried out. The structural properties of the isolated products can be verified by Fourier Transform IR (FT-IR) spectroscopy and other techniques. Chemical oxidation of the product of the condensation reactions gives a stable cation radical which can be used in polymerization of epoxide and vinyl monomers and as a powerful one electron oxidizing reagent in organic reactions, at room temperature.
