Vanillin- aminoquinoline schiff bases and their Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes / Dr. S. N. Battin.

Includes bibliographical references.

Coordination chemistry and metal complexes is one of the active fields of research in Chemistry. The scope of this field has now become so broad that the number and the kind of compounds with which it is concerned is large enough for the metal compounds and complexes to gain importance in clinical, pharmacological, medicinal, analytical and industrial areas. Schiff bases are most widely used as chelating agents in coordination chemistry. The synthesis and application of Schiff base and their coordination compounds have been highly considered in inorganic and bioinorganic fields as their structural properties are similar to those of the compounds involved in biological systems. The transition metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from heterocyclic compounds have been the centre of attraction for many workers in recent years.
