Novel Ni(II) complexes of formazans containing -NO2, -COOH, -Cl, -Br, -CH3 groups in the o-, m-, p-positions of the I-phenyl ring were synthesized. The dyes were characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, UV-vis and GC-mass spectra.. UV-vis spectra indicated that their lambda(max) was shifted to an extent that depended upon the type and position of the substituent on the ring; a broad absorption band was observed at 426-446 nm in CH2Cl2 at 25 degrees C. A linear correlation was obtained between Hammett substituent coefficients and lambda(max) values. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
