Applications of metal complexes of Schiff bases-A review

, which are condensation products ofprimary amines and aldehydes or ketones (RCH=NR ′,where R & R ′ represents alkyl and / or aryl substituents).This paper reviews uses of Schif f bases and their metalcomplexes as catalysts, in various biological systems,polymers and dyes, besides some uses as antifertilityand enzymatic agents.
