Abstract:
Kinetic and spectral parameters are most vital properties of any chemical compound to determine structure and reactivity. In this present study we are intended to report the kinetic and spectral parameters of the new schiffs base derivatives of Ortho vanillin (2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) and Meta vanillin (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde), synthesized by condensation with 2-amino-2 methyl-1-propanol. Characterized by UV and IR spectroscopy and melting points. Kinetic parameters were evaluated by DC polarography and Cyclic voltametry in 40% aqueous di methyl formamide KCl was supporting electrolyte. On applying milli coulometric method of analysis on polarograms it was clear that the schiffs bases undergone two electron reduction. The experimental results observed from the effect of concentration and mercury column height on the limiting current confirmed the diffusion-controlled nature of the limiting current. Cyclic voltametric results shows reversible nature of electron transfer.
