Thermal Performance, Photostability and UV-Visible Spectroscopic Studies of Some Synthesized azo- Schiff and Bis-azo-Schiff bases Nashwan O. Tapabashi, Khalid. M. Al-Janaby, Samira. A. Mohammed 

Abstract— A series of azo-Schiff bases and bis azo-Schiff bases were prepared by condensation reaction of azo-salicylaldehyde with different aromatic amines and azo-amines with various aromatic aldehydes in absolute ethanol. Thermal performances as well as photostabilities of the prepared compounds were tested by subjecting them as solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide to direct sunlight using a special exposure tool manufactured for this purpose. The results of exposure showed an improvement in the thermal performances of the prepared azo-Schiff bases comparing with the blank, the starting azo-amines and azo-aldehyde ranged between 3-7 degrees. The photostability studies against the sunlight proved stability of the prepared azo-Schiff bases compared to Congo red dye, one of the most famous azo dyes that have been selected as a reference for comparison, as well as to the azo-amines derived from. However azo-salicylicaldehyde was more photostable than its some azo-Schiff bases derivatives. Index Terms— Azo- Schiff bases, azo-amines, photostability, thermal performance.

aldehydes in absolute ethanol to try them as colorants to serve as photochemical convertors. II. EXPERIMENTAL All of the reagents and solvent involved in the synthesis were of analytically grade and used as received without any further purifications. Compound (1) was prepared as described previously [22].The structure of all synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR spectra, recorded on a FTIRspectrophotometer model Perkin-Elmer 2002 as pressed KBr disks in the region of 400-4000 cm-1 , as well as elemental analysis. The purity of prepared compounds was checked by TLC. Electronic spectra were recorded using a Schimadzu UV/VIS spectrophotometer; model 1650 PC as solutions in DMSO at room temperature. Melting point of all prepare compound were determined on Electro thermal BL-210 S apparatus. CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS

I. INTRODUCTION The continuous depletion of fossil fuel by the man led to adverse effect, such as environmental pollution that threatens human health as well as greenhouse gases linked to global warming and the consequent undesirable serious changes in climate such as melting of snows at the poles, raising of water levels in the seas and devastating floods sweeping the lowlands [1-6]. Therefore, the search for alternative energies that are renewable and environmentally friendly has become of paramount importance, and solar energy is one of these available options [6]. The chemical storage, being one of various applications of the photochemical conversion of solar energy, was the subject of series of researches which examined a wide spectrum of organic dyes such as, Rhodamine B, Congo red, Schiff bases, etc. as photochemical convertors [7-16]. Solar collectors, solar stills were designed and tested using those organic dyes as absorbers instead of black paints [17]. The extension of the strong electronic absorption maximum of azo compounds towards longer wavelength region by the presence of various aromatic moieties in combination with the fact that azo groups are relatively robust and chemically stable has prompted extensive study of azo-containing Schiff base compounds as dyes and colorants [18-21]. This motivated us in this work to prepare azo-Schiff and bis azo-Schiff bases from condensation reaction of azo-salicylaldehyde and some aromatic amines as well as azo-amines with various aromatic

PHOTOCHEMICAL EXPERIMENTS Manufacture of the exposure system Exposure system, shown in fig. 1, was manufactured from two square shaped wooden pieces with (40X40 cm) in dimensions fastened to each other by pair of hinges, one served as a movable facial part and the other as a fixed base. A protractor was fixed to the joint point of the two part edges in order to adjust the angle of exposure to sun light. An angle of 45 degree was chosen as an optimum one during mid-year in Iraq. Twenty test tubes with 3 cm in diameter for each were arranged on the facial part in two rows, each row contained ten test tubes which were fastened to the wood by nylon arc wire. Hourly measurements of solution temperature were recorded throughout exposure time. The system was derived on an arc facing the geographical south to attain a permanent direct incidence of sunlight on the test solutions during irradiation hours by tracking the sun.

Fig. 1: Sketch of the exposure tool Thermal performance Experiments 20 mL of 1x10-4- 5x10-3 M solutions of each of the prepared compounds in Dimethyl sulfoxide replaced in 19 test tubes of 25 ml in size, whereas the twentieth test tube was filled with the solvent to serve as blank. All the test tubes were fitted with hollowed corks to insert thermometers till the middle part of the tubes to measure the hourly temperature of the solutions during three days of continuous direct exposure to sunlight by tracking the sun of the same group of solutions. Readings of the used thermometers were corrected through one week exposure in water as solvent and another week in dimethylsulfoxide. Photostability Experiments 20 mL of 1x10-4 M solutions of each of the prepared compounds in Dimethyl sulfoxide were replaced in 20 test tubes of 25 ml in size. All the test tubes were closed with corks and exposed continuously to direct sunlight radiation by tracking the sun. Photostability of the irradiated solution were followed by recording the values of absorbance of the solutions using Uv- visible spectrophotometer each six hours for three days exposure to the same set of solutions. Fig. 2 demonstrates the exposed solutions.

Thermal Performance, Photostability and UV-Visible Spectroscopic Studies of Some Synthesized azo- Schiff and Bis-azo-Schiff bases due to (n→ π*) of the azo group was not identified. The absorption spectra of azo-Schiff bases (3a-g, 4a, 6a-f,7a, 9a-f, 11a-f, 13a-d, 15a, 16a-b, 17a-b, and 18a-c) which were derived from the precursors (azo compounds), recorded as solutions ranging between (10-3-10-4 M) in DMSO at room temperature, showed three main bands: The first band in the range of (225-268) nm is due to the moderate energy transfer (π → π*) of the aromatic ring [27,28]. This band appears at its absorption location close to absorption of 236 nm generally ascribed to the local induction of the benzene ring bonded to nitrogen atom (PhN=), in order to obtain a reciprocal effect between the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom and the (π) electron system of the aromatic ring itself [32,33]. The second band at the range (278-308) nm, in general, but in rare cases extended to 353 nm is due to the (π → π*) low energy transfer of the azomethine group, this band appears to be close to the characteristic absorption of (phCH=N-) group of the Schiff bases at (262.5) nm. This absorption was previously attributed by a number of researchers to (charge transfer), since the benzene ring bonded to the carbon atom is the electron donating group, whereas azomethine group acts as

electron accepting group [32-36].The third band at the visible area of the spectrum at the range of (410-647) nm ascribed to (π →π*) including the whole electronic system of the azo molecule masking the weaker and lower intense band due to (n →π*) of the azo group which appears at this region of the spectrum. Bands at the region of (218-225) nm which is usually observed in aromatic Schiff bases attributed to local induction of benzene ring bonded to carbon atom (phC=) was not distinctly identified here [34,37]. The absorption spectrum for (1x10-3 M) DMSO solution of compound 15a showed red shift compared with compound 14a and a new band due to (n → π*) of azo group at 497 nm was recorded besides the two main bands belonging to parent azo-salicyaldehyde, 14a at 223 nm and (305-328) nm ascribed to (π → π* ) transitions of aromatic ring [31]. Tables (1-7) summarize the physical properties of the azo-Schiff bases besides the absorption bands in uv- visible region.

Thermal performances of Azo-Schiff bases Thermal performance of aqueous solution of well-known individual and mixed dyes absorbing light in the different wave lengths of solar spectrum was recorded earlier [104,105]. Compounds which gave maximum possible thermal performance in the visible region of the solar spectrum were tested in solar collectors [17, 38, 39]. The selection of optimal concentrations of the dyes used was found to depend on their molar extinction coefficient, photostabilities, besides synthesis and operating cost thereof in liquid solar collector [38, 39]. Previous studies have shown that the thermal performance of dyes exposed to direct sunlight, whether alone or in combination, depends on how stable the dyes are toward the chemical reactions between the molecules and the photochemical reactions (dissociation and

oxidation). The concentrations of the dye mixtures having highest thermal performance and most stable against direct sun light were determined for each single dye separately [38, 39]. Thermal performance for all of the prepared compounds in this work was studied as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions plus the solvent by exposing them to direct sunlight for two-three clear days, twelve hours a day starting from 7 o’clock morning till 6 o’clock evening using the system shown in fig. 1. The hourly measurements recorded at the beginning of each hour of the day showed an increase in the temperature of the solutions compared to the solvent ranged between 3-7 degrees. The results of thermal performances are exhibited in the tables (8-13), as it was exposed as six batches. The results of each batch are shown in single table in compare with the solvent used.

Thermal Performance, Photostability and UV-Visible Spectroscopic Studies of Some Synthesized azo- Schiff and Bis-azo-Schiff bases of DMSO as a solvent in the preparation of solutions was an attempt to overcome the solubility problem of our certain compounds as well as to avoid utilization of aqueous solutions, due to tendency of them toward hydrolysis. Some facts were taken in consideration in choosing exposure solutions which were; working in the optimum ranges of concentrations recorded in previous studies [38-40], to avoid the mirror effect (i.e. very concentrated solutions of the dyes serves as mirror reflecting light beams preventing access of light into the solutions), as well as matching the spectrum of the exposed solution with solar spectrum in the visible region. Some earlier work indicated that high molecular weights organic dyes having larger number of extended double bonds, containing electro-donating and electro-withdrawing groups and multiple molecules covalently bonded to each other are the most photostable compounds [41]. In this investigation, single and multiple azo as well as multiple azomethine moieties of azo-Schiff bases were prepared to examine the effect of multiplicity of azo and azomethine groups on their photostabilities. Photostabilitiy studies showed distinct stabilities of the prepared azo-Schiff bases, in general, compared to the Congo red dye, one of the most important azo dyes selected for comparison, and to their precursor azo-amines under the same climate condition of exposure. This study showed the instability of Congo red as solution in DMSO, average rate of its phtodecomposition was the faster (9.01 x10-5 M hr-1), since previous studies recorded its photofading in aqueous solutions [42, 43].Table (8) exhibits the average rate of photodecomposition of (1x10-4 M) DMSO solutions of the azo-Schiff bases being calculated from their photodecomposition curves in comparison with their azo precursor. In all cases the azo-amine precursors were less photostable than their azo-Shiff derivatives (i.e. it had the faster average rate of photodecomposition). However the azo-salicyaldehyde precursor (compound 14a) was more stable (R=2.40x10-7 M hr-1) than some of its azo-Schiff

derivatives (compounds 15a, 16a-b,17a,-b, 18a-c-). Since the aim of this work was to introduce the energetically rich azomethine group into the azo compounds in order to take advantage of their long wavelengths in the visible region of solar spectrum and to study the potential contribution of the azomethine group, through extended conjugation, in increasing basicity of the (-N=N-) group to protect it from photodecomposition, our results reveals some success in achieving this goal. Our study, also, did conclusively demonstrate the effect of multiplicities of the both groups on enhancing photostability, besides it served to push the absorption spectrum bathochromatically toward the middle of solar spectrum (in this wavelengths 500-600 nm) by introducing the active azomethine into azo compounds (the cases of compounds, 16a-b, 17a-b,18a-c). These facts make our compounds candidates to be efficient if they were chosen as absorbers in solar liquid collectors in the future, or if it were preferred as photosensitizers in three component systems, provided that their oxidation potentials matched with the reduction potential of some relay systems like methyl viologen [9]. The decrease in the absorption values of the dyes over time is an evidence of decreasing of the concentration with continuation of irradiation period which is a normal result for decomposition of the dyes. Earlier studies have shown that high temperatures accompanied by direct exposure to sunlight accelerate the fragmentation of each dye as result of the increase in the speed of primary and secondary photochemical reactions [41, 43]. Since the highly energetic photons absorbed by the dye molecules, transferring them to their excited state, cause oxidative reactions of the excited molecules ending with the decomposition of the molecule and loss of color. In azo dyes, for example, the nucleus is broken in the presence of light to form azoxy group (R-N=N-O) which cause the dissociation of the molecule in the subsequent steps [42, 44].
