Synthesis, Characterization of Copper(II) and Manganese(II) Schiff Base Complexes Derived from Carbohydrazide

Abstract

Schiff bases, which contain azomethine group (-CH=N-) were originally discovered by Hugo Schiff in 1864 through condensation reaction between carbonyls and primary amines. These compounds have the ability to coordinate with transition metals, resulting in the formation of metal complexes. Schiff bases are widely used in pharmaceutical and coordination chemistry, and their biological properties, including antibacterial, have been extensively studies and evaluated.
