Schiff bases have been of continued interest in coordination chemistry for a long time
because they provide new ligand platforms that make reactivity easier and their metal …

Despite multiple advances in prevention and treatment, cancer remains a deadly disease
globally. From 1942 to the present day, chemotherapy has been recognized as one of the …

In this work, we investigate the mode of interaction of a family of fluorescent zinc complexes
with HS–and H2S. Different experiments, performed by diverse spectroscopic techniques …

In this frontier article some peculiar characteristics of Zn (salen)-type Schiff-base complexes
are reviewed. The paper is mainly focused on the most recent and relevant achievements on …

The ability of fluorescent small molecules, such as metal complexes, to selectively recognize
G-quadruplex (G4) structures has opened a route to develop new probes for the …

Schiff bases are a class of flexible imine ligands that are both resourceful and promising.
Their metal complexes are unique in a multitude of study domains due to their ease of …

This review presents representative examples illustrating how the Lewis acidic character of
the Zn (II) metal center in Zn (salen)-type complexes, as well as in complexes of other …

The zinc (II) ion forms stable complexes with a wide variety of ligands, but those related to
Schiff-bases are among the most largely investigated. This review deals with the peculiar …

Manganosalen complexes are coordination compounds that possess a chelating salen-type
ligand, a class of bis-Schiff bases obtained by condensation of salicylaldehyde and a …

Chiral platinum (II) complexes with tetradentate salen ligands were synthesized, and
characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. These complexes …
