Abstract

In Schiff base metal complexes, the environment at the coordination center can be modified by attaching different substituents to the ligand, which provides a useful range of steric and electronic properties essential for the fine-tuning of structure and reactivity.[1] Therefore, Schiff base ligands are among the most fundamental chelating systems particularly for transition metals.[2] Among the transition metals, ruthenium complexes have attracted ...
