The reduction potential ERed of disubstituted N-benzylidenebenzenamines XArCH NArY (abbreviated as XBAY) is a measure of the electron acceptance ability of the Lowest-energy Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) in molecule, which is closely related to the electronic effects of substituents X and Y in molecule. Previous studies on the ERed of XBAY reported by Luo, Wang, and Yuan all did not involve these molecules containing hydroxyl. In this work, 28 samples of disubstituted N-benzylidenebenzenamines containing para-hydroxyl, (abbreviated as 4-OHBAY or XBAOH-4′) were synthesized, and their ERed values were measured. Then, 127 compounds were taken as a complicated ERed data set, which involved 28 compounds (4-OHBAY and XBAOH-4′) of this work and 99 compounds XBAY reported by Luo. Based on these data ERed set, through a quantitative regression analysis method and comparison of the factors affecting the ERed, the following results are obtained: (a) Because the phenolic hydroxyl OH can dissociate H+ to form phenolic oxygen anion, the change regularity of ERed of compounds 4-OHBAY and XBAOH-4′ is somewhat different from that of ERed of XBAY compounds without hydroxyl OH. That is, hydroxyl OH has an additional effect on the ERed, which decreases the ERed value. (b) The additional effects of 4-OH on the ERed is different from that of 4′-OH. The effect of hydroxyl OH attached to the aldehyde aromatic ring on the ERed is more than that of OH attached to the amine aromatic ring.
Abnormal effect of hydroxyl on the longest wavelength maximum in ultraviolet absorption spectra for bis-aryl Schiff bases

Two sets of bis-aryl Schiff bases that contain 4(or 4′)-OH and 2(or 2′)-OH were synthesized. The first set consists of 4-HOArCH=NArY and XArCH=NArOH-4′, and the second set consists of 2-HOArCH=NArY and XArCH=NArOH-2′. Their ultraviolet absorption spectra were measured and investigated. A very interesting phenomenon was observed by analyzing their wave number νmax (cm?1) of longest wavelength maximum λmax (nm) of ultraviolet. Compared with the change regularity of the νmax of XArCH=NArY (where the X and Y excluded OH), the 4′-position hydroxyl (4′-OH) and 2′-position hydroxyl (2′-OH) have abnormal performance. The details are the following: the 4′-OH contributes an additional red shift to the νmax of XArCH=NArOH-4′ (λmax increase), whereas the 2′-OH contributes an additional blue shift to the νmax of XArCH=NArOH-2′ (λmax decrease). In addition, there are ortho steric effects of all 2-OH and 2′-OH on the νmax for 2-HOArCH=NArY and XArCH=NArOH-2′, and the ortho steric effect contributes a red shift to their νmax. These experimental facts can provide an important theoretical reference for us using aryl Schiff base compounds as optical materials and performing the molecular design.
