Two Schiff bases (DAMBA-Fc and DAA-Fc) derived from dehydroabietic acid have been successfully synthesized and characterized by means of FT-IR,elemental analysis,HRMS,and NMR spectroscopy.The crystal structure of DAA-Fc can be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The compound is of monoclinic system,space group P21 with a =10.7379(6),b =7.5004(4),c =33.3294(18) (A),β =97.996(3)°,Z =4,V=2658.2(3) (A)3,Mr =481.48,Dc =1.203 g/cm3,S =1.034,μ =0.585 mm-1,F(000) =1032,the final R =0.0566 and wR =0.0701 for 5645 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)).In addition,cyclic and differential pulse voltammogram techniques have been applied to differentiate the redox properties of the aromatic-and aliphatic-connected Schiff bases DAMBA-Fc and DAA-Fc,respectively.
