Schiff Base Ligand System and their Applications in Biological System, Catalysis and in Chemosensing: A Short Review

Abstract

Schiff base are the versatile ligands, prepared by the condensation reaction of primary amines with carbonyl compounds. Schiff base along their metal complexes having numerous application in catalysis, medicinal chemistry, polymerization, chemosensing and in organic compound synthesis. Due to broad spectrum of catalytic activities, Schiff base metal complexes are very useful in epoxidation, oxidation, reduction of ketones, and in polymerization. Their biological activity includes antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, anticancer, antimalarial and antiviral etc. In this review we present the use of Schiff base and their metal complexes in catalysis, biological and in chemosensing activities.
