Abstract
Three new N-carbazole acetyl hydrazones Schiff-bases were synthesized by the condensation reaction between
N-carbazolyl acetyl hydrazine and the substituted benzaldehydes in anhydrous ethanol, and characterized by elemental
analysis, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), 1H-NMR and mass spectral analysis. The relationships between the substituent
type and the UV, fluorescence spectral properties as well as the fluorescence quantum yields of the title Schiff-bases were
also investigated. The results indicate that the fluorescence quantum yields of the title Schiff-bases with accepting electron
groups are decreased, while that of the title Schiff-bases with donating electron group are increased. The fluorescence
quantum yield of the 2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetohydrazide is up to 0.631..
