A new asymmetrical Schiff base triazole ligand, (4-(((3-mercapto-5-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)imino)methyl)phenol) (L1), was synthesized and characterized using CHNS elemental analysis and FTIR, UV/Vis, mass, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The Schiff base metal complexes of NiL1, PdL1, and AgL1 were synthesized and identified using FTIR, UV/Vis and flame atomic absorption spectroscopies and elemental analysis, as well as magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. NanoL1 and its complexes, nanoNiL1, nanoPdL1, and nanoAgL1, were prepared as compounds using ultrasound. The new nano-complexes were characterized using FTIR, UV/Vis, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscope, and XRD measurements. The structural, optical and morphological properties were studied in a solution of DMSO and then precipitated on silicon slides using the drop-casting method to fabricate the solar cells.
