Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and thermal studies of some rare earth metal complexes of unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligand

Schiff Bases: A Versatile Pharmacophore

“…Results revealed that the complexes were biologically active and have exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity than the free ligand (Schiff base) [29].…”

Synthesis, characterization, fluorescence and catalytic activity of some new complexes of unsymmetrical Schiff base of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with 2,6-diaminopyridine

“…Heterocyclic compounds such as pyridine and related molecules are good ligands due to the presence of one or more ring nitrogen atoms with a localized pair of electrons. Schiff bases and their metal complexes have been found to exhibit biological activities [5][6][7][8] addition, complexes of Schiff base ligands derived from pyridine derivatives with some transition metals such as Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(III) and Zn(II) showed significant biological notification including antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activities [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Moreover, luminescent compounds are attracting much current research interest because of their many applications including emitting materials for organic light emitting diodes, light harvesting materials for photocatalysis and fluorescent sensors for organic or inorganic analytes [23][24][25][26][27].…”

Synthesis, catalytic and biological activities and computational study of Fe(III) solvent‐ligated complexes having B(Ph)4 as counter anion

“…[30] Many metal(II) and metal(III) complexes are specialized in inhibiting different types of bacterial strains. [31][32][33] A diversity of complexes have been studied because of their industrial, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antiviral and herbicidal roles. [34][35][36][37] It is known that the presence of metal ions bonded to biologically active species may enhance their activities.…”
