Schiff bases (SBs) are extensively used as organic compounds that coordinate with metal ions through imine or azomethine nitrogen (C=N) and are subjected to subsidizing an ample spectrum of biological behaviors to these azomethinic compounds. SBs have wide applications in various fields including organic and inorganic chemistry, analytical, catalysis, pharmaceutical, biological, food and dye industry, pharmacological such as anti‐inflammatory, antitumor, anticonvulsant, antifungal, analgesic, antibacterial, antimalarial, antiviral, anthelmintic, anti‐oxidant, and so forth. SB effortlessly forms stable complexes with main group elements, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides as they easily retain tenability of their stereo‐electronic structures, which is why it is also regarded as “privileged ligand.”
Many coordination complexes have been used in medicine contain metals such as platinum (as cisplatin, anticancer chemotherapy drug); gold (as auranofin, used for rheumatoid arthritis); technetium and rhenium (as radiopharmaceuticals used in imaging and radiotherapy); manganese and gadolinium (used in magnetic resonance imaging); ruthenium (as an anticancer drug); lithium (as Li2CO3 to treat prophylaxis of manic‐depression behavior); bismuth (bismuth salicylate used as an antacid); iron, vanadium, and titanium (used to treat cancer as they react with DNA specifically in tumor cells); lanthanum (lanthanum carbonate used as a phosphate binder in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease); gold, silver, and copper (as anticancer drugs); gallium; lutetium.
Over the past decade, substantial emphasis has concentrated on the evolution of SB metal complexes owing to their DNA‐binding properties, catalytic activities, electroluminescent properties, sensors, organic photovoltaic materials, fluorescence properties, energy materials, synthesis of polymeric materials, and biological activities. This area has been the subject of numerous reviews due to its distinct and peculiar structural properties, particularly its distinguished catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability, along with various physicochemical properties. The coordination of both essential and nonessential elements with these versatile ligands can lead to alterations in their physiochemical and biological properties, which depicts them as competent contenders to use judiciously in various fields.

Over the past few decades, chemistry of coordination compounds has expanded and diversified considerably. Coordination chemistry accomplished a significant interdisciplinary place at the interface of numerous fields, which serves as a connecting link between the different classes of chemical, physical, and biological sciences. The precise date that the first coordination compound was prepared is challenging to ascertain. Johann Jacob Diesbach, a color manufacturer, discovered the blue pigment known as Prussian blue in the seventeenth century, which is the beginning of coordination complex chemistry [1]. Chromium was discovered in 1798 by the German researchers Lowitz and Klaproth separately in a sample of a heavy black rock located near north of the Beres of Mines. The chromium in the same mineral from a small deposit in the Var region of South‐eastern France was discovered by another German chemist Tassaert in 1799. He identified this mineral as the Cr–Fe spinel, also known as chromite (FeO·Cr2O3) [2].
Alfred Werner's findings marked the beginning of an insight into coordination compounds and their varied properties. Werner's coordination theory in 1893 was the first effort which focused on the quantity and type of groups connected to the central metal ion to characterize the bonding and interpretation of coordination complexes. In 1913, Werner's idea and meticulous work over the ensuing 20 years earned him the Noble Prize in Chemistry. Due to the development of sophisticated physicochemical techniques of high accuracy and precision, his fundamental theories regarding the stereochemistry of metal complexes, mechanisms of isomerization, and racemization, etc. prevail indisputable even now despite all the advancements that have occurred since his time and through the last 50 years [3, 4]. These have greatly improved our knowledge of the attributes of metal–ligand connection, the configuration and stereochemistry of metal complexes, and their stabilities, liabilities, and other characteristics [5, 6]. Werner's theory became a key component of “The Electronic Theory of Valency” proposed by G.N. Lewis (1916) and extensively related to coordination compounds by N.V. Sidgwick (1927), replacing the majority of the earlier concepts presented by Berzelius (1819), Grohen (1837), Claus (1856), Blomstr (1869), and Jorgenson (1894).
Coordination chemistry has expanded in three dimensions, taking into consideration its breadth, depth, and applications. The five Noble awards that significantly impact the topic reflect the sustained respect for the emerging science (A. Werner, 1913; M. Eigen, 1967; Wilkinson and Fischer, 1973; H. Taube, 1983; Cram, Lehn and Pedersen, 1987). In the list, Werner and Cram, Lehn & Pedersen acknowledged the ancient and new domains of coordination chemistry [7].
A coordination compound, also known as a metal complex, comprises an ensemble of bonded ions or molecules, regarded as ligands, and a central ion or atom called a coordination center, which is typically a metal ion. There are reasonably profound changes in the properties of a metal ion on the complex formation, which reflects in structures, stereochemistry, stability, and many other properties. It is necessary to understand the properties of bond between the metal ion and ligand to interpret the design of complex.
According to Lewis and Sidgwick theory, ligands donate an electron pair to a metal ion to establish a coordinate bond [8, 9]. In 1931, L. Pauling expanded this theory to comprehend and predict various coordination complex traits, including magnetic behavior, stereochemistry, kinetics, and other physical and other chemical characteristics [10]. This hypothesis states that a coordinate bond between the metal and ligand leads to the complex formation of the duo. It describes how s, p, or d orbitals, as well as hybridized orbitals, i.e. sp3, d2sp3 or sp3d2, or dsp [2], etc. generate strong bonds. Tetrahedral, octahedral, and square planar stereochemistry, each dealt by coordinate covalent bonds, formed by metal atoms having sp3, d2sp3/sp3d2, or dsp [2] hybrid orbitals with the ligand orbitals. Through semi‐quantitative calculations, Pauling and Gould elucidated the stability of complexes and concluded that the formation of sigma bonds among ligand and metal from electron donation occurs in carbonyl and nitrosyl compounds [10]. Back donation, i.e. dπ–pπ linkage amid metal and ligand, justifies the stability of carbonyl and nitrosyl compounds.
The splitting of d or f orbitals is explained by crystal field theory (Figure 1.1). Degeneracies of electron orbital states are typically brought on by a static electric field induced by the distribution of charges nearby. Hans Bethe and John Hasbrouck van Vleck, two scientists, proposed a theory that describes several spectroscopies of transition metal coordination complexes, specifically optical spectra (colors) [11, 12]. Although it makes an effort to characterize and explain bonding, crystal field theory (CFT) is effective in defining colors, magnetic characteristics, and hydration enthalpies of transition metal complexes. The attraction among the positively charged metal cation and ligands leads to the interaction between a transition metal and ligands. Owing to the attraction between like charges, the electrons in the ligand's d‐orbital resist one another, splitting the energy of the d‐orbital. The following factors have an impact on this splitting:
Figure 1.1 Crystal field splitting in tetragonally elongated, octahedral, and square planar filled.
Concerning the spherical field, the distribution of ligands encircling metal, the coordination number of the metal ion, such as tetrahedral or octahedral, and the type of ligands, a greater oxidation state of the metal causes considerable splitting.
Tetrahedral symmetry hinders the ligand electrons from approaching d‐orbitals directly. The higher energy orbitals are d

. The energy splitting will be less than in an octahedral field. CFT can also be used to explain complex geometry.
The electronic structure of molecules is described using quantum mechanisms. The electrons are not allocated to specific atom‐to‐atom linkage; instead, they are regarded as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the entire molecule. In 1935, molecular orbital theory (MOT) stated that molecular orbitals were formed by linear combinations of atomic orbitals. Atomic orbitals must overlap within space and cannot form molecular orbitals if they are too apart. The electrons in an atom may be either waves or particles; therefore, electrons can be considered as accommodating an atomic orbital or a wave function ψ, which is a solution of Schrodinger wave equation. The overlapping atomic orbitals must have nearly the same energy; maximum overlapping must have symmetry concerning the molecular bonding axis [13, 14].
The orbital configuration, bonding, and other properties of coordinating complexes are explained by ligand field theory (Figure 1.2). To formulate the more extensive and realistic ligand field theory, which describes the process of chemical bonding in transition metal complexes, the MOT and CFT were later integrated. This theory which elucidates the loss of degeneracy of metal d‐orbitals in transition metal complexes was developed by incorporating the tenets of CFT and MOT. Ligand field theory originated in the 1930s by John Hasbrouck Van Vleck and Orgel to explain the results using CFT and visible spectra of transition metal complexes [12,15–18]. The vacant d‐orbitals of transition metals facilitate bonding, which affects the colors they absorb in solution. Depending on the intensity of the surrounding ligands, the various d‐orbitals are influenced differentially and have their energy raised or diminished. The symmetry orbitals of the ligands in octahedral complexes generate bonding and antibonding combinations through the dz2 and dx2−y2 orbitals as a result of approaching along the x‐, y‐, and z‐axes. In contrast, the dxy, dxz, and dyz orbitals remain nonbonded [19, 20].

The terminology “ligand” has two distinct meanings. At first, ligands can act as donor atoms by being present in molecules and connected to the core metal ions, or the entire ligand can be employed as a molecule [1]. Second, a ligand coupled to a central metal ion forms an initial ionic or covalent interaction with one or more donor atoms.
The number of donor atoms in a ligand can be used to distinguish between various ligands.
One donor atom is considered to be a monodentate ligand.
Two donor atoms are considered to be a bidentate ligand.
One or more donor atoms are considered to be a polydentate ligand. These ligands are coupled to the central metal ion to generate complexes with cyclic structures.
The chelating agents that arise to ring‐structured complexes are known as bidentate and polydentate ligands.
Additionally, bidentate ligands are divided into two categories:
Symmetrical bidentate ligand with comparable donor atoms,
Unsymmetrical bidentate ligand with two different donor atoms.
The ability to generate complexes exists for almost all of the metals in the periodic table. Numerous chelating substances can utilize nonmetallic elements from groups V and VI as donor atoms to bind with metal ions. The most prevalent examples of donor atoms include halides, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (Figure 2.1) [2].
German chemist Schiff Hugo Josef first discovered the Schiff base in 1864. It has the general formula R—CH=N—R′, where R and R′ may be aryl or alkyl groups [3]. Schiff bases are the condensation product of an aldehyde or ketone with a primary aromatic amine that contains an electron‐donating group known as azomethine group (—CH=N—) group [4, 5]. They are characterized by the occurrence of azomethine group [6, 7]. Through azomethine nitrogen, these molecules coordinate with metal ions, and these complexes have undergone substantial research [8]. Schiff bases are prominent ligands due to the relevance of these complexes in analytical, chemical, biological, and industrial fields. These complexes comprising of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, etc. have a wide range of biological characteristics [9].

The following chemical scheme is illustrated for the synthesis of Schiff bases:
First, this mechanism (Scheme 2.1) was recognized by Laurent and Gerhart in 1850. Schiff bases are weak bases that can only be synthesized by using mineral acid to remove water. Alkyl substituents are significantly less stable in the Schiff bases than aryl substituents [10]. Compared to Schiff bases derived from aliphatic aldehydes and having efficient conjugation, those formed from aromatic aldehydes are more stable [11–13]. Aliphatic aldehydes can easily polymerize Schiff bases, which renders it challenging to isolate them in their pure state and results in a product with a complicated structure [14, 15].
Scheme 2.1 General mechanism for the synthesis of Schiff base.
Schiff bases have a multitude of bonding sites as well as can donate a proton or electron to generate high polyhedrons or complexes. Examining the coordination compound geometries that exhibit higher kinetic and thermodynamic stability with different transition metal ions is crucial. It serves as the framework of structural chemistry. Polydentate Schiff bases are more efficient in achieving high coordination structures because of their compact nature. Consequently, coordination compounds with metal ions are prepared using a bidentate, tridentate, or tetradentate of ligands. A five‐ or six‐membered ring structure with a metal ion can be formed when functional groups like —NO2, —SH, and —OH are in close proximity with the azomethine group to act as a chelating agent.
The use of Schiff bases in optical and electrochemical sensors and in various chromatographic techniques allows for better selectivity and sensitivity [16–18]. Among the organic reagents used, Schiff bases have excellent properties, a comparatively simple preparation method, and the flexibility of synthesis that enables to design of appropriate structural properties [19, 20].
Numerous organic, inorganic, biological, and analytical chemistry domains utilize Schiff bases synthesized from aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amine [21]
