Salicylaldehyde Schiff Base Complexes: Synthesis and Characterization

Abstract

This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of Schiff base ligands derived from salicylaldehyde, which are known for their effective chelating abilities with transition metals. Schiff base ligands were selected due to their potential thermal and electronic properties, particularly when coordinated with metal ions such as Cu(II) and Zn(II). The goal was to evaluate their structural, thermal, and spectral properties.
