1 Introduction
New metal-organic ligand materials with efficient light emitting properties have attracted many researchers in recent years[1e3] due to their prospective applications as organic light-emitting di-odes (OLEDs)[4e6], light emitting electro-chemical cells (LEECs) [7], lumophores for cell imaging [8,9], conductors and semi-conductors [10e13] Some organic transition metal complexes, which exhibit strong luminescence at low driving voltages, are of much interest for designing a flat panel display system [14,15] Additionally, transition metal complexes of Schiff bases have received significant importance in material chemistry owing to
their wide range of applications[16e18] Metal complexes of Zn (II), Pt (II), Co (III), Cu (II) and Ag (I) with Schiff bases were described as luminescence organic materials that are used in organic optoelec-tronics [17,18e21] In particular, cobalt complex [Co(PLAGeỵ2H)(NH3)3]NO3 was reported as a higher
photo-luminescence material [22] and the methanolic solution of {[Cu(2,5-pdc)(H2O)4]$H2O} complex exhibitsfluorescence at room
temperature [23] Further, the novel Cu (I) complex of [Cu(ABPQ)(DPEphos)]BF4 was shown to be a good
photo-luminescence material[24e27] Recently, copper (II) complex with (1R, 2R)-cyclohexanediamine derived Schiff base has been pre-pared and used as a dye for light emitting devices due to its excellent luminescence properties[28]
Encouraged by the photoluminescence properties of metal complexes derived from Schiff bases, an attempt has been made to synthesize and study the photoluminescent properties of Copper (II) and Cobalt (II) complex phosphors (4a- and 4b-complexes) of * Corresponding author

2.2 Synthesis of ligand 1-[(4-butylphenyl)imino]methyl naphthalen-2-ol (3)
The solution of 4-butylaniline (1) (6.0 mmol) in dry ethanol (15 mL) was stirred on a magnetic stirrer at room temperature An ethanolic solution (15 mL) of 2-hydroxynapthalene-1-carbaldehyde (2) (6.0 mmol) was added slowly to the stirring so-lution of followed by the addition of catalytic amount of acetic acid The resulting reaction mixture was continued to be stirred for h at the same temperature, during which the color of the solution changes to yellow The TLC (mobile phase pet-ether:ethyl acetate 70:30 v/v) revealed the product formation, after which the solvent was removed under vacuum and triturated with petroleum ether (15 mLx2) to afford the ligand (3) as yellow solid The yellow solid was subjected to recrystallization using hot ethanol Yield: 90%, mp: 68e70 C IR (KBr), (n, cm1): 3054(¼CeH), 2928(CeH),
2854(CeH), 1619(C]N), 1214(CeO).1H NMR(400 MHz, DMSO-d 6): d(ppm) 0.92 (t, J¼ 6.00 Hz, 3H), 1.29e1.31 (m, 2H), 1.55e1.57 (m, 2H), 2.63 (t, J¼ 6.00 Hz, 2H), 6.99 (d, J ¼ 7.20 Hz, 1H), 7.31e7.35 (m, 3H), 7.52e7.56 (m, 3H), 7.78 (d, J ¼ 5.20 Hz, 1H), 7.91 (d, J ¼ 7.20 Hz, 1H), 8.48 (d, J¼ 6.40 Hz, 1H), 9.64 (s, 1H)
2.3 Synthesis of Cu (II) complex (4a-complex)
A mixture of ligand (5 mmol) in hot ethanol, CuCl2$2H2O
(2.5 mmol) and triethylamine (5 mmol) was refluxed for 8e10 h The Cu (II) complex (4a-complex) was precipitated out as brown solid after cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature The solid wasfiltered, washed with ethanol and dried in vacuum The product 4a-complex was further purified by recrystallization using a mixture of chloroform and hexane (1:1 v/v) which afford brown crystals of the complex Yield: 80%; mp: 180e184C; IR (KBr), (n,
cm1): 3021(CeH), 2926(¼CeH), 2854(CeH), 1614(C]N), 1215(CeO), 526(MO)
2.4 Synthesis of Co (II) complex (4b-complex)

2926(¼CeH), 2851(CeH), 1613(C]N), 1253(CeO), 526(MO) Results and discussion
3.1 Formation of 4a- and 4b-complexes
The reaction between amino group of 4-butylaniline (1) and aldehyde group of 2-hydroxynapthalene-1-carbaldehyde (2) afforded the Schiff's base ligand 1-[(4-butylphenyl)imino]methyl-naphthalen-2-ol (3) [29] Reaction conditions and the use of catalyst were the key parameters in obtaining product with satisfactory yield In the preparation of 3, acetic acid was used as a catalyst The product was purified by recrystallization, charac-terized by FT-IR and NMR spectral analysis and utilized for further step to get Cu (II) and Co (II) complexes Metal salts CuCl2$2H2O
and CoCl2$6H2O were reacted with in the presence of
triethyl-amine as a mild base to afford the 4a-complex and 4b-complex, respectively The reaction scheme followed for the synthesis of Cu (II) complex (4a-complex) and Co (II) complex (4b-complex) is shown inFig During thefinal reaction one equivalent of metal reacted with two equivalents of ligand which produced a four coordinated complex (4a-complex and 4b-complex) The solvent mixture chloroform:hexane (1:1) was found to be suitable for the recrystallization of both 4a-complex and 4b-complex Structures of the complexes were established from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies (Fig 2) The single crystal X-ray diffraction confirms the trans orientation for 4a-complex and cis orientation for 4b-complex with respect to two N and two O donor atoms of the ligand Even though the ligand is same for the two complexes, the opposite orientation of the donor atoms in 4a-complex and 4b-complex may be due to unequal size and different interaction of metals with the ligand The square planar geometry with reference to metal and donor atoms in the 4a-complex has been confirmed from the bond angles of O1eCu1eN1 (~90), O1eCu1eO1 (180)
and N1eCu1eN1(180) But the planarity was almost lost in the
4b-complex, which resulted in distorted square pyramidal geom-etry having cobalt at the apical position and four donor atoms of the ligand occupy the basal equatorial positions with slight changes in the regular bond angles The L-M-L bond angles (º) of 4b-complex were found to be O2eCo1eO1 (88.27), O2eCo1eN1
(155.98), O1eCo1eN1 (91.54), O2eCo1eN2 (92.28), O1eCo1eN2
(151.66) and N1eCo1eN2(99.05)
3.2 Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies
(3)MERCURY [34] software programs were used for geometrical calculation and generation of molecular/packing diagrams respectively
3.3 UV-Visible spectrum
Diffuse reflectance (DR) study can be useful to know the conductance properties of the materials and hence the study was carried out for the synthesized materials DR spectra were measured in the range 200e1000 nm (Fig 3) The major peaks were identified in the range 300e400 nm, which may be accounted for the transition of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band The transitions involving surface traps or impurities resulted in the weak absorption in UV-Visible region of the spectra Band gaps of the complexes were determined from the respective DR spectra by using KubelkaeMunk theory The intercept of the tangents to the plots of [F(R∞)hn]1/2 versus photon energy hn was shown in Fig 3(b) The KubelkaeMunk function F(R∞) and photon energy (hn) were calculated using the following equations:[35]

wavelength
The measured band gap energy for 4a-complex and 4b-complex were found to be 1.78 eV & 1.44 eV respectively It was clearly indicated from the band gap energy values that the allowed direct transitions were responsible for the inter band transitions Reaction conditions used for the preparation of materials were directly responsible for the Eg values These conditions may inhibit or favor the formation of defect, control the degree of structural order-disorder and consequently the number of intermediary energy levels within the band gap

The correlated color temperature (CCT) is a specification of the color appearance of the light emitted by a light source, relating its color to the color of light with respect to a reference light source when heated up to a specific temperature, in Kelvin (K) The CCT rating for a lamp or a source is a general‘‘warmth’’ or ‘‘coolness’’
measure of its appearance However, opposite to the temperature scale, lamps with a CCT rating below 3200 K are usually considered ‘‘warm’’ sources, while those with a CCT above 4000 K are considered‘‘cool’’ in appearance.
Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) can be estimated by Planckian locus, which is only a small portion of the (x, y) chro-maticity diagram and there exist many operating points outside the Planckian locus CCT values were determined as described in the earlier reports[25]and were found to be ~5400 K (atlexi¼ 333 nm)
and ~5755 K (atlexi¼ 300 nm) for 4a- and 4b-complexes
respec-tively Since the CCT values for both complexes were above 4000 K, these could be used as a cold light emitting source in commercial lightening applications

The surface morphology of 4a- and 4b-complexes was studied by using scanning electron microscope images and composition of the complex was revealed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of the respective complexes The SEM and EDS im-ages of 4a- and 4b-complexes are shown inFig Broken pieces with smooth surface morphology for 4a-complex and soft surface stone like morphology for 4b-complex were observed in the respective SEM images Further these metal complexes were sub-jected to EDS analysis to confirm the composition of the complexes and experimental values as shown in Table The EDS spectra (Fig 5) confirm the elemental composition of copper, carbon and oxygen in 4a-complex and cobalt, carbon and oxygen in 4b-complex
4 Conclusion
In summary, the two transition metal complexes of Cu (II) and Co (II) containing Schiff base ligand 1-[(4-butylphenyl)imino] methyl naphthalen-2-ol (3) were synthesized using mild reaction conditions, and their physical properties were studied The single crystals of the complexes were grown and structures were identi-fied by the single crystal XRD analysis The structures 4a-complex
and 4b-complex were further characterized by FT-IR, SEM and EDS studies
PL spectrum of 4a-complex showed the excitation peaks at 333 nm and 360 nm for the emission wavelength of 495 nm Similarly, 4b-complex yielded the excitation peaks at 300 nm and 360 nm for the emission wavelength of 496 nm The band gap energies were determined from the DRS study to be 1.78 eV (4a-complex) and 1.44 eV (4b-(4a-complex) The SEM images of the ma-terials revealed smooth broken piece surfaces for 4a-complex and the soft surface stone morphology for 4b-complex Both the com-plexes were highly soluble in THF, DMF and DMSO and found to be suitable for fabricating electroluminescent devices Due to their excellent photophysical properties, these complexes would be useful as the promising white and blue green light emitting diodes in fabricating strong electroluminescent materials for flat panel display applications as an emissive layer
