The detection of various biologically important cationic and anionic species has led to the synthesis of various Zinc (II) Schiff base complexes, which bear a large application in catalysis and sensors. A recently reported study has indicated a synthesis of a 48 membered macrocyclic Zn(II) Schiff base complex, which functions as a dual anion sensor (DAS) containing a protonated amine group. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to study the interaction of the Zn tetranuclear complex (Zn-TCom), a neutral complex, with a cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), employing steady-state absorption and fluorescence studies. The change in the photophysical properties of the fluorophore is studied on binding with the surfactant. The steady-state absorption and emission studies reveal that the polarity of the surrounding of the fluorophore has been modified upon binding with CTAB. A study on the alteration of polarity during the interaction of Zn-TCom with the surfactant is studied by comparing the fluorescence behavior of the probes in a micro heterogeneous environment in a mixture of dioxane and water of varying composition. The binding constant magnitude (analyzed using the Hildebrand equation) manifests that the Schiff base binds to the micellar compartment. These results are manifested to enhance the potential application of the macrocyclic complex in the field of biochemistry. Furthermore, quantum chemical calculations are undertaken to correlate the molecular structure of Zn-TCom with the associated frontier molecular orbitals. The parameters like the energy of HOMO, LUMO and the associated Mulliken charges with respect to individual elements are computed using the single point geometry. The studied reports are correlated with the feasibility of binding with bio mimicking environment or bio proteins for selective application as drug carriers.

The reaction of polyoxovanadate and metal-Schiff base complex resulted in the formation of a new organic-inorganic hybrid compounds with the formula Na2[Mn (Salen)(H2O)2]4[V10O28]·9H2O (1) (salen=N,N’-ethylene-bis (salicylideneiminate). Compound 1 have been structurally characterized by IR, UV-vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for 1: Triclinic, P-1, a=14.1123(3)Å, b=13.9397(7) Å, c=14.2564(5)Å, α=65.4160(9)°, β=81.3920(6)°, γ=89.5740(7) °. Structural analyses revealed that compound 1 represent a rare example of isopolyoxovanadate based metal-Schiff-base complexes, moreover, this is the first POM based metal Schiff-base complex isolated in aqueous solution medium, which may also propose a green chemical way to the synthesis of POM based hybrid. Compare with isopolyoxovanadate precusor Na6 [V10O28], compound 1 exhibit higher antimicrobial activities against human cancer cell, the phenomenon can be explained by the synergetic effect between POM and Schiff-base complex.

 Background: Schiff base compounds derivative from1,2,4-triazole, and their transition metal complexes play an essential role in coordination and bioinorganic chemistry due to biological and industrial applications. Objective: The work aims to prepare and characterize of 1, 2, 4-triazole Schiff base and its complexes with a theoretical study using  PM3 calculation and HyperChem program, photophysical properties, and surface morphology for these complexes. Methods: 1, 2, 4-triazole Schiff base prepared by condensation reaction between  4-Amino-3-mercapto-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde, then Schiff base reacted with Co2+, Ni2+,  and Cu2+ ions,   the synthesized 1, 2, 4-triazole Schiff base, and its complexes were characterized by infrared spectra, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements, photophysical properties, and surface morphology measured by atomic force microscopy. The practical results were reinforced with a theoretical study for these Schiff base complexes. Then the proposed structures of the prepared complexes. Results: 1, 2, 4-triazole Schiff base act as a chelate ligand. The coordination has occurred through the oxygen of the phenolic group O-H and the nitrogen of the imine group N=C of Schiff base with divalent metal ions. Cobalt complex has a tetrahedral geometry, while the nickel and copper complexes have square planar geometries. The stability of all compounds was studied by calculating the energy gap by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Copper Schiff base is a more stable complex due to the lower value of the energy gap, and the copper Schiff base complex is more semiconductivity than the other complexes. Surface morphology, properties of chelating  Schiff base ligand and its complexes measured by atomic force microscopy, cobalt Schiff base complex is higher roughness. The bond length of (-C=N-), (-C-O-),(M-O), and (M-N)  are affected in the coordination with metal ions, the bond length of the square planar geometry more affected than tetrahedral geometry. Conclusion: All compounds were prepared successfully, characterized, and photophysical properties were studied.

As a result of the Schiff base condensation the gadolinium macroacyclic and macrobicyclic Schiff base complexes have been synthesized and investigated by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Both electron ionization and electron spray Molecular Spectroscopy spectra confirmed the [1:1] proportion of a ligand to metal in gadolinium macrocyclic and mocrobicyclic Schiff base complex samples. The thermogravimetrydifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) indicated the presence of two water molecules in the innersphere of the macrobicyclic complex and confirmed no water coordination of the metal ion in the macroacyclic complex. The temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the EPR spectra enabled the magnetic interactions in the spin system of these compounds to be revealed.
