Abstract

Thiazolyl heterocyclic azo dye and its metal (Ni2+, Co2+)–azo complexes were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, UV–VIS absorption spectra, FT-IR, 1H NMR and MALDI-MS. The thermal properties of metal complexes were studied by DSC–TGA. The optical constants (complex refractive index N = n + ik) and thickness of the complex thin films on polished single-crystal silicon substrates were investigated on a scanning ellipsometer. Results indicate that thiazolyl metal–azo complexes possess good optical and thermal properties. They would be a promising recording medium candidate for NVD with the Super-resolution near field structure (Super-RENS) technology.
