Abstract
Metal complexes synthesized from Schiff bases and furthermore Schiff bases are versatile in nature. Such types of compounds were prepared from the condensation of an amino compound with carbonyl compounds (aldehyde or ketone) during which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. Schiff bases and their derivatives are widely employed in industries, polymers, dyes and medicative and pharmaceutical fields and additionally exhibit biological activities like antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antiviral, and antipyretic properties. Many Schiff base metal complexes exhibit glorious catalytic activities in numerous mechanisms. Their several applications in homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis were according troughout last decade. Several Schiff base complexes were helpful for their application as catalysts in reactions involving at high temperatures because of the high thermal and moisture stabilities. This text totally based on literature review with examples of the most promising applied Schiff bases and their complexes in several areas, summarizing the applications of Schiff bases and their numerous derivatives and complexes.
