Schiff Base Ligands: Synthesis and Characterization

Schiff base complex compounds have taken a wide place in coordination chemistry and have important role in development of inorganic chemistry, biochemistry and environmental chemistry. Schiff bases have a chelating structure and are in demand because they are straight forward to prepare and are moderate electron donors with easily tunable electronic and steric effects thus being versatile. These types of complexes with transition and heavy metals are used in organic synthesis, analytical reagent, metal ion catalyst and medicine
