Synthesis of triazine based dialdehyde Schiff's base – new templates for Molecular Imprinting and study of their structural and photophysical properties

Abstract

Triazine based dialdehyde (DIPOD) and its Schiff's base derivatives were designed and synthesized from cyanuric chloride as template for Molecular Imprinting. Density functional theory calculation results revealed that the distance between two aldehyde groups is 1.3 nm. Synthesized structurally the rigid template having 1,3,5-triazine as core moiety, has been used as template to introduce two appropriately spaced amino groups for substrate binding on the solid surface of silica. The structures of the synthesized DIPOD and its Schiff's base were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV–Vis spectral analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the compound has thermal stabilities above 300 °C.
