Schiff based ligands and their complexes have emerged as potential drug candidates. Owing to their excellent chelating tendency, they easily coordinate with transition metals which have vacant orbitals. Transition metal complexes have several advantages because of their better acceptability and low toxicity in biological systems. These metals also serve as micronutrients and as co-factors of various metallo-enzymes which justifies the need of their designing and synthesis. Many modifications have been suggested in the ligand moiety for the purpose of activity enhancement and some of them have been described in the present review. These modifications have enhanced better potency against a number of diseases and resulting in low toxicity and better solubility in vivo. The transition metal complexes with Schiff based complexes have exhibited an array of activities including anticancer, antioxidant and antimicrobial. Their analytical applications have also been reported. The present review summarizes some of the recent advances in the field of synthesis and designing of new Schiff based complexes particularly with first transition series metals and their medicinal applications.

Experimental and computational studies of the incorporation of hexacyanoferrate(II), hexacyanocobaltate(III), and hexacyanoferrate(III) into potassium chloride crystals are described. The experimental results showed that the extent of incorporation follows the trend hexacyanoferrate(II) » hexacyanoferrate(III) > hexacyanocobaltate(III). Computational modelling produced replacement energies that match the experimental trend. The calculated geometry of the incorporated complexes was also found to match well with previous experimental results.

The functionalization of the arsenic transfer reagent [Cp″2Zr(η1:1-As4)] (1) focuses on modifying its properties and enabling a broader scope of reactivity. The coordination behavior of 1 towards different Lewis-acidic transition metal complexes and main group compounds is investigated by experimental and computational studies. Depending on the steric requirements of the Lewis acids and the reaction temperature, a variety of new complexes with different coordination modes and coordination numbers could be synthesized. Depending on the Lewis acid (LA) used, a mono-substitution in [Cp″2Zr(µ,η1:1:1:1-As4)(LA)] (LA = Fe(CO)4 (4); B(C6F5)3 (7)) and [Cp″2Zr(µ,η3:1:1-As4)(Fe(CO)3)] (5) or a di-substitution [Cp″2Zr(µ3,η1:1:1:1-As4)(LA)2] (LA = W(CO)5 (2); CpMn(CO)2 (3); AlR3 (6, R = Me, Et, iBu)) are monitored. In contrast to other coordination products, 5 shows an η3 coordination in which the butterfly As4 ligand is rearranged to a cyclo-As4 ligand. The reported complexes are rationalized in terms of inverse coordination.
