“…During the last decade, considerable attention has focused on the development of Schiff base metal complexes due to their electroluminescent properties [50], biological activities (such as antiviral, antibacterial, antiapoptotic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory activities and as urease inhibitors) [51][52][53][54]. Schiff base complexes show nonlinear optical (NLO) properties [55][56][57], DNAbinding properties [58][59][60][61] and fluorescence properties [62][63][64][65]. They also found applications in polymeric materials [66,67], sensors [26,68], organic photovoltaic materials [69], energy materials [70], nuclear medicine [71] and as components of pharmaceutically active cocrystals [72].…”

Novel ligand platforms that promote reactivity are of long standing and continued interest in coordination chemistry, with Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes representing one of the most versatile and long standing topics of interest. The synthesis and structure of polydentate Schiff bases and their metal complexes is fascinating, because it reveals a great richness of structural, physico-chemical and catalytic properties. Given the simplicity and ease of access to multidentate Schiff bases and their metal complexes, investigation of such compounds is essential to precise and understand structure-property relationships in order to optimize and improve their use in a wide range of fields, including catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, magnetism, electrochemistry, nanoscience, energy materials, and biological applications. This review highlights the recent developments of pentadentate, hexadentate, heptadentate and macrocyclic Schiff base ligands containing various donor sets made of different combinations of N, O, S or P donor atoms and their metal complexes (essentially mononuclear), as well as presenting synthetic methods and interesting structures of complexes formed by first-to-third row transition metals (from group 4-12), main group elements, lanthanides and actinides. This review is divided into three main sections, each of them corresponding to one type of denticity of the Schiff base under consideration. Each category is described with representative examples according to a periodic order, and emphasis is given to the coordination aspects. Their catalytic, magnetic and biological properties are also outlined. This review that contains 359 references should act as a source of information to researchers interested to work in this domain and stimulate further investigation in this fascinating area of Schiff base coordination compounds.

“…Remarkably, some of these tetradentate [N 2 O 2 ] Schiff-base zinc complexes also show interesting luminescent properties [70]. Thanks to their Lewis acidic character, this kind of complexes are characterized by fascinating aggregation/deaggregation properties in relation to the absence or presence of a Lewis base, accompanied by significant changes of their spectroscopic properties that can find a lot of applications [71][72][73][74][75][76][77].…”

Whereas there is an increasing amount of reports on the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) and luminescence properties of tetradentate [N2O2] Schiff base–zinc complexes, the study of zinc complexes having two bidentate [NO] Schiff-base ligands is relatively unexplored from an NLO point of view. This work puts in evidence that the known chiral bis{2-[(R)-(+)-1-phenylethyliminomethyl]phenolato-N,O}zinc(II) complex is a fascinating multifunctional molecular inorganic–organic hybrid material characterized by interesting second-order NLO and luminescent properties in solution. The emissive properties of the organic 2-(R)-(+)-1-phenylethyliminomethyl]phenol proligand are greatly enhanced upon coordination to the inorganic Zn(II) center.
