Using Ce, La, Nd (Ⅲ) nitrate and a curcumin aniline schiff base and a curcumin bis (4-methyl aniline) schiff base as raw materials, six complexes were synthesized. Through the molar conductance, IR, TG-DTA and element analysis motheds, the structures of complexes were characterized. Moreover, the properties of UV-Visible spectra and photochromic properties of the complex, and the solvate-chromic performance in organic solvents were explored. The experiments showed that the complexes have good photochromic and solvate-chromic properties. The fluorescence intensity and UV-Visible spectra intensity were reduced under exposure, and the color of the complex solution became light. The complexes have different UV-Visible spectra in difference organic solvents. The relationship between photochromic properties and time was also studied.
