“…The higher activity exhibited by the complexes compared with the free ligands indicates that coordination of silver(I) had a positive impact in enhancing the antimicrobial activity. This can be attributed to the chelation of the silver(I) centres by the ligands and, hence, facilitating the ability of the complexes to cross the cell membrane of the microbes, a trend also reported for other transition metal complexes . This is premised on the fact that chelation reduces the polarity of the metal ion due to partial sharing of its positive charge with donor groups and the possible π‐electron delocalization over the whole chelate ring.…”

“…Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes have been employed in areas that include analytical and bioinorganic chemistry, non-linear optics, fluorescence studies, agricultural, pharmaceutical and chemical industries and materials chemistry. [1][2][3][4][5] Beside the broad range of applications of Schiff base compounds in different field, the metal complexes of Schiff bases are widely used as homogenous and heterogeneous catalyst in reaction. [6][7][8] In recent years, the development of efficient new catalysts for several organic reactions like carbonylation, hydroformylation, reduction, oxidation, epoxidation, hydrolysis have received considerable attention as well as for the use as corrosion inhibitors.…”
