Schiff bases and their metal complexes are very important in medicinal and pharmaceutical fields because of their wide spectrum of biological activities. Transition metal complexes derived from the Schiff base ligands with biological activity have been widely studied. A series of Ni (II) complexes were prepared by the reaction of salicyldimine with Nickel Oxide at room temperature. The chemical...

Different Schemes for the synthesis of Schiff bases have been discussed. Solvent free synthesis by microwave irradiation technique is observed to be rapid, more efficient and more economical and at the same time may play a pivotal role in the progress of Schiff base synthesis. Mechanism for the synthesis of Schiff bases at controlled pH range has been studied. Biological functions of metal comp...

The Complexes of the type ML2 and M′L [where M= Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II); M′= Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)] with the Schiff base ligand (HMeOQMAMQ) L=3-[(2-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinolin-3-ylmethylene)amino]-2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one, have been synthesized. Their characterizations have been done by elemental analysis, conductance data, magnetic susceptibility measurements, H NMR, electroni...

Iron, cobalt and copper complexes bearing [2 + 2] Schiff-base macrocycles have been isolated screened as catalysts for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters.

To date, only a few articles related to the hybrid materials of Schiff base metal complexes and laccase, an oxygen-reducing enzyme, have been published in Compounds since its inception 2021 [...]

A series of transition metal sulphonato-Schiff base complexes were intercalated into Mg–Al layered-double hydroxides (LDHs). The obtained catalysts were characterized by FTIR, XRD, N2 sorption, SEM and elemental analysis, and then were used in the selective oxidation of glycerol (GLY) using 3% H2O2 as an oxidant. It was found that their catalytic performances were closely related to the loading...

The Carboxymethyl chitosan Schiff base (CSB) derivative and its cobalt and nickel complexes (CSB-Co & CSB-Ni) have synthesized. The FTIR results showed the interaction with the amine of Carboxymethyl chitosan and aldehyde confirming the Schiff base formation. The XRD results, in comparison to CMC, displayed weaker peaks, which shows a decrease in crystalline properties and also exhibits the amo...
