Abstract: Five complexes of N-salicylideneamino acid zinc ( Ⅱ ) were synthesized.The structure of the complexes were characterized by elementary analysis, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, molar conductance, infrared, electronic and fluorescence spectra.The five complexes have the composition of Zn[(Sal-Gly)·H2O], Zn[(Sal-DL-Val)·H2O], Zn[(Sal-L-IIe) H2O], Zn[(Sal-L-Leu)·H2O] and Zn[(Sal-L-Phe)·H2O] respectively.The results of the studies indicate that the tautomeric equilibrium between the " enol-imine" and "keto-enam-ine" exists in the Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde with amino acids.The structures of zinc ( Ⅱ ) complexes must be those indicated by formula Ⅲ and Ⅳ.The molar conductance data show that they are nonelectrolyte, and the TG-DTAresults show that the decomposition temperature of complexes is above 300℃ and the thermal stability of them is higher than that of the ligand.Fluorescence intensity of zinc( Ⅱ ) complexes in alcohol is 43-227 times as high as that of the Schiff bases at excitation wavelength (λex = 368 nm) and emission wavelength (λem = 444 nm) of the complexes.N-salicylideneamino acids can be used in fluorescence analysis.
