A series of six keto-hydrazone dyes was prepared by azo coupling of diazotised substituted 2-aminophenols with pyrrolinone esters. All keto-hydrazone compounds were found as a mixtures of E and Z isomers by 1H NMR. Irrespective to the position of nitro substituent on the phenol ring, all compounds fluoresce strongly only in solvent glass at 77 K except 4-nitro derivatives which also weakly fluoresce in solution and in solid-state at room temperature. Using these hydrazones as tridentate O-N-O′ ligands, six symmetrical 2:1 octahedral Co(III) complexes were prepared. Multinuclear NMR combined with 15N labelled hydrazone derivative proved that the starting mixture of hydrazone isomers was converted exclusively to E-azo configuration in complexes with coordinated nitrogen atoms coming solely from phenolic residues. The considerably different effect of 4- and 5-nitrophenol substituents on absorption spectra of the ligands and complexes was ascribed to prevailing azo character of an electronic structure of a ligand in the complex, based on TD DFT calculations.
