Chemistry of Schiff Bases

This book discusses the conventional synthesis and environmentally friendly synthesis, as well as the categorization of Schiff bases and their metal complexes. Research into its applications in other fields of interest, such as catalysis, metal ion sensing, and cell imaging, makes its study relevant and worthy of being pursued. The food industry, the agrochemical industry, the dye industry, analytical chemistry, catalysis, energy storage, the environmental field, chemo-sensing, bio-sensing, and the biomedical sector are some of the domains in which these have been used. Schiff bases are one of the most important chemical classes of compounds having a common integral feature of a variety of medicinal agents. This review reflects the contribution of Schiff bases to the design and development of novel lead having potential biological activities with fewer side effects. This bioactive core has maintained the interest of researchers in gaining the most suggestive and conclusive access in the field of various Schiff bases of medicinal importance from last decades.
