analyses. The IR spectra was measured with a Thermo Nicolet FT-IR
Avatar 330 spectrophotometer using KBr pellets and shown in
Fig. 2. As we can find that the IR spectra for target molecule showed
obvious signals of NH, which presented a band at 3281.77 cmꢁ1. The
obvious adsorption signal at 1662.75 cmꢁ1 in the IR spectra of
compound 8 was assigned to the carbonyl of amide as shown in the
following spectra. For compound 8, the bands that appeared in its
IR spectra such as 1586.26, 1574.49, 1562.71, 1562.43 and
1457.74 cmꢁ1 were attributed to the typical carbonecarbon
stretching vibrations of heteroaromatic rings. The bands observed
at 1197.71 and 1009.32 cmꢁ1 in the IR spectrum are assigned to CeO
bending vibration for title compound. The wavenumbers observed
at 820.93, 758.95, and 747.34 cmꢁ1 have been assigned to the
typical aromatic ring vibrational modes.

ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level.
The 1H NMR spectra showed distinctive signals of methylene
between oxygen/sulfur and pyridine ring, which presented a
singlet at 5.34 and 3.73 ppm, respectively. The broad singlet at
10.44 ppm in the 1H NMR spectra of compounds 8 was assigned to
the NH proton of amide as shown in the representative spectra
(Fig. 3). For compound 8, the signals that appeared in its 1H NMR
spectra in the ranges 8.57e7.50 ppm were attributed to the typical
protons of pyridine heterocycles.
The electron spray impact mass spectra (ESI-MS) for compound
8 was measured with a Mass spectra were performed on a WATERS
ACQUITY UPLC® H-CLASS PDA (Waters®) instrument, and the ion
peak or adduct ions of the synthesized compound were investi-
gated as shown in Fig. 4. Experimentally, in the positive ion mode,
the ESI-MS of compound 8 exhibit the obvious molecular peak
[M þ H]þ appeared at m/z 496.8 with high abundance (100%), and
the peak appears at m/z 518.2 was assigned to the corresponding
sodium adduct ions (15e20%). The medium abundance peaks at m/
z 246.3 presented in the ESI mass spectra were assigned to the
cleavage fragments [M e NHR]þ. The lowest abundance peaks at m/
z 126.3 were assigned to further cleavage fragments [ClPyCH2]þ.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Synthesis of salicylamide derivative containing bis-pyridine
moieties
In the present study, a novel amide ligand derived from salicylic
acid was synthesized by reacting functionalized salicylic acid with
substituted-amine. The general methods for the preparation of
target molecule containing bis-pyridine moieties 8 are outlined in
Scheme 1.
The low-cost salicylic acid was selected as raw materials, which
was routinely transferred to the corresponding intermediates 4 via
three steps according to document method [25,26]. Activation of
the substituted carboxylic acid 4 with thionyl chloride provides the
corresponding acid chloride 5, which was further used to couple
with newly prepared amine 7 to give the ligand 8. The target
molecule 8 gave satisfactory chemical analyses, and all the IR, 1H
NMR, ESI-MS spectra were consistent with the assigned structure.
Furthermore, the crystal of target molecule has been obtained by
recrystallization method, and the single-crystal structure was
determined by X-Ray diffraction.

3.2. Spectroscopic studies on compound 8
In order to explore the possible molecule structure and
hydrogen-bonding systems, the crystal structure of molecule 8 has
also been studied. Compound 8 is crystallized in monoclinic crystal
system with P2(1)/c space group, unit cells a ¼ 15.1485(9) Å,
The structure of target molecule 8 was confirmed by its IR, 1H
NMR spectra and electron spray impact mass spectra (ESI-MS)
