The acetate and chloride salts used were of analytical grade
purchased from Merck and used without further purification.
All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and distilled
solvents were used in whole experiments. The elemental
analysis (CHNS) was performed by Verio MICROV3.1.1
instrument. The vibrational spectrum acquired from Perkin
Elmer FT-IR 1000 spectrophotometer. Specord 600 thermo
scientific PC double beam spectrophotometer (path length
3cm) used for absorption spectra and the emission spectra
obtained by using horiba RF-5301PC with standard quartz cell

Pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide(1) (1mmol, 0.196 g) was
refluxed with syringaldehyde (2 mmol, 0.364 g) for 6hr in the
presence of methanol lead to the formation of ligand L1.The
light yellow coloured precipitate was obtained.
2.3 X-ray Crystallography
Structural measurement of single crystal of L3 and L4 were
performed on a Bruker Kappa Apex four circle- 5 CCD
diffractometer. Single crystal of L3 and L4 compounds, which
was suitable for X-ray diffraction, was developed in DMSO that
mounted on nylon 7 Cryoloop. SMART/SAINT software was
used for data reduction. Graphite monochromatic MoKα
radiation (0.7107 Aº) at 298 K was used in intensity data
collection. Structure solution, refinement and data collection
were collected with SHELXTL program by using direct method.
Images and hydrogen bonding interaction were constructed in
the crystal lattice with mercury software. Refinement
parameters of L3 and L4 are shown in table 1. Crystallographic
data for both compounds have been deposited with
Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (deposition no. of L3
and L4 is CCDC No. 1577825 and CCDC No. 1552443
respectively).
