In this study, the effectiveness of the synthesized Schiff's base, N,N-bis(acetonylacetone)-p-aminoacetophenone-o-phenylene diamine, in detecting environmental pollutants, including mercury (Hg(II)) and lead (Pb(II)), using UV/VIS spectrophotometry, was evaluated. Acetonitrile was chosen as the optimal solvent. Emphasis was placed on reaction conditions, including micelle effects, to enhance results. The study underscores the importance of Schiff's base compounds for environmental monitoring, particularly in detecting mercury and lead pollution.
