A Schiff base platform was explored to present structural aspects of its Zn(ii) and Cd(ii) coordination compounds, sensing behavior towards Zn(ii) and PPi in aqueous medium and anticancer activity.
A new structurally characterised half-condensed Schiff base (HL′) and a Zn2L4 complex reacting from Zn2+ ion and HL produced from HL′ in a solution state as smart chemosensors for Zn2+ and H2PO4− ions respectively in aqueous medium.
A pentadentate Schiff-base ligand 3,5Cl-L2− and NCSe− form a iron(iii) mononuclear complex [Fe(3,5Cl-L)(NCSe)], which shows a thermally induced spin crossover with a broad hysteresis width of 24 K between 123 K (warming) and 99 K (cooling).
