The present article describes the synthesis of Schiff base-acetylene functionalized organosilatranes and their characterization by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and ESI-QTOF mass spectrometry. The UV-visible study of the organosilatrane 6a unveiled their high selectivity towards the recognition of Zn2+ and Co2+ ions without exhibiting any significant interference from other competitive metal ions. The calculated value of association constant with 6a for Zn2+ and Co2+ ions was 0.11 x 106 M-1 and 0.24 x 106 M-1 and the limit of detection was 0.28 x 10-6 M and 0.82 x 10-6 M resp. Furthermore, DFT calculations were performed to get an insight into the interacting behavior of sensor 6a towards Zn2+ and Co2+ ions. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (cas: 57179-35-8Application In Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde).
3-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (cas: 57179-35-8) belongs to ethers. The oxygen atom in ethers are more electronegative than carbon, thus the hydrogens which are alpha to the ethers are more acidic than the simple hydrocarbons. Ethers can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.Application In Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde
