Synthesis and characterization of ferrocene based ligand system and their complexes

Abstract

Ferrocene based ligands find a wide range of application due to the fascinating structural properties and interesting electrochemical properties of the ferrocenyl moiety. Ferrocenyl derivatives find an unrivalled interest in the field of material chemistry, catalysis and bioorganometallic chemistry. Ferrocenyl-schiff base ligands and their metal complexes are increasingly gaining importance in research for their potential to exhibit a wide range of biological activity such as anti-tumor, anti bacterial and anti-fungal. Keeping in view the significance of this area the present research work is focused on designing ferrocene containing biologically active compounds of a typical organometallic nature and their metal complexes
