Schiff Base Ligand System Containing ONO Donor Atoms and Synthesis of Metal Complexes by Direct and Template Methods: A Review

Abstract

Schiff bases are obtained by condensation reaction of primary amine with an aldehyde or ketone. Schiff base contains azomethine (>C=N-) functional group which play major role in the progress of coordination chemistry. These contain donor atoms like Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulphur. Their ability to react with transition metals to form stable complexes makes them very useful in wide range of synthesis. These find numerous applications in various fields, including medicinal chemistry, catalysis and chemosensing. This review focused on Schiff base system containing ONO donor atoms and methods employed to form complexes with metals along their brief spectral aspects and applications.
