Dyeing the wool and nylon fibers by a novel copper complex

Nanoparticles of a new copper(II) chloride complex including phosphoramide ligands with formula CuCl2(H2O)2[4-NO2PhNHP=O(NC4H8O)]2 was synthesized characterized by CHN elemental analysis, 13C, 31P, 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, FE-SEM and XRD techniques. This complex was then used for dyeing wool and nylon fibers. After dyeing, the fibers were examined by light fastness and wash fastness tests. The brownishyellow wool and green nylon dyed fibers exhibited high wash fastness results. The dyeing ability of this complex was evaluated with K/S diagrams and determination of LAB parameters
