Introduction
Synthesis and characterization of new coordination compounds have always been a challenge to the inorganic chemists. Schiff bases have been playing an important part in the development of coordination chemistry. Schiff base metal complexes have been studied extensively because of their attractive chemical and physical properties and their wide range of applications in numerous scientific areas.
Schiff Base ligands : Schiffs bases, named after the German chemist Hugo Schiff (1834-1915) Those compounds having a formula RR'C=NR where R is an aryl group, R' is a hydrogen atom and R is either an alkyl or aryl group. Schiff bases can be prepared by condensing carbonyl compounds and amines in different conditions and in different solvents with the elimination of water molecules. The presence of a dehydrating agent normally favors the formation of Schiff bases. Presence of a lone pair of electrons in a sp2 hybridized orbital of nitrogen atom of the azomethine group is of considerable chemical importance and impart excellent chelating ability especially when used in combination with one or more donor atoms close to the azomethine group. When aldehyde is a salicylaldehyde derivative and amine is a diamine derivative, the condensation produces interesting N2O2 Schiff base compounds called salen ligands
Macrocyclic Schiff base have been prepared by well known self condensation reaction of appropriate formyl- or keto- and primary amine precursors and find wide applications in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry
Schiff Base as Coordinating Ligands : Schiff base ligands coordinate to a metal through the imine nitrogen and another group, usually oxygen, situated on the original aldehyde. Schiff bases are among the most general N ligands, because the basicity of the sp2hybridized N lone pair, although lower than that of amines (sp3 hybridization), is well suited to form complexes with metal ions. the stability of the Schiff base group increases considerably upon coordination with a metal ion and formation of the Schiff base-metal complex. For this reason, in contrast to the free ligand, the Schiff base-metal complex can be used in wet solvents or even in aqueous media without undergoing hydrolysis.
Schiff base transition metal complexes : Metal complexes are generally prepared by treating metal salts with
Schiff base ligands under suitable experimental conditions. Cozzi has outlined five synthetic routes that are commonly employed for the preparation of Schiff base metal complexes and these are depicted as follow-
2.1.1 Luminescence : Luminescence is an emission of ultraviolet, visible or infrared photons from an electronically excited species. Luminescence is formally divided into two categories: fluorescence and phosphorescence depending on the nature of the excited state. Fluorescence is emission of light from singlet excited states while Phosphorescence is emission of light from triplet excited states. Phosphorescence is usually not seen in fluid solutions at room temperature. Transition metalligand complexes, which contain a metal and one or more organic ligands, display mix singlettriplet states. These complexes display intermediate lifetimes of hundreds of nanoseconds to several microseconds. This process are represented in the Jablonski diagram .
Transition metal complexes are finding broad potential applications in organic light-emitting diodes,light-emitting diodes, light-emitting electrochemical cell, solar cells and sensors due to their desirable optical,electronic and mechanical properties, these compounds play an important role in developing semiconductors and optoelectronic devices.
Schiff base complexes play a central role in various homogeneous catalytic reactions and the activity of these complexes varies with the type of ligands, coordination sites and metal ions. Literature reports reveal that a large number of Schiff base metal complexes exhibit catalytic activities. Chiral Schiff base complexes are more selective in various reactions such as oxidation, hydroxylation, aldol condensation and epoxidation.
2.2.1 Polymerization reaction :The polymerization reactions are catalyzed with various catalysts and based on experimental observations Conditions for catalyst :*1+. Catalyst must have high olen-insertion ability. [2]. Catalyst must have two available cis-located sites for polymerization [3]. Catalyst must be stable enough under the usual polymermerization conditions. Aluminum complexes of a series of tridentate Schiff base ligands, 1-4, were found to catalyse the polymerization of ethylene
2.2.2 Oxidation reactions:Titanium(IV), vanadium(IV), copper(II) or zinc(II) complexes of chiral Schiff base ligands of O-N-O- type were used in various asymmetric chemical transformations. The binuclear palladium Schiff base complex, 5 was found to be effective catalysts in direct oxygenation of unfunctionalized hydrocarbons and phenols . Dinuclear Schiff base complexes of copper (II) ions 6 were used successfully in hydroxylation of phenol
2.2.3 Epoxidation reactions : chromium and manganese-salen complexes.are effective catalyst for chiral and asymmetric epoxidations of alkenes. Jacobsens complex, has been demonstrated to be very effective for the enantioselective epoxidation of unfunctionalised olefins
Schiff base complexes of transition metals are efficient catalysts in carrying out asymmetric reduction of dialkyl ketones. Schiff base complexes of general formula [RuX(EPh3)(LL)+ where X = Cl or Br,E = P or As and LL = *ONNO+ donor of the heterocyclic Schiff base ligands, show catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of aliphatic and aromatic ketones in the presence of isopropanol and KOH.
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide:The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is an activated process, and the presence of catalysts like Schiff base complexes of transition metal ions was effective in catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
2.2.6 DielsAlder reaction :The rst target-oriented synthesis of pyranoquinolines as potential antibacterial agents by inverse electron demand DielsAlder reaction (IEDDA) was accomplished using chiral salenAlCl complex as catalyst,
Chiral Schiff base lanthanum (III) complexes displayed catalytic activity in the asymmetric Diels Alder reaction of 3-(2-propenoyl)-2-oxazolidinone with cyclopentadiene
Antitumor Activities :Metal complexes of Schiff base have been recommended a new line for search to new antitumor activity A tridentate Schiff base derived from the condensation of S-benzyldithiocarbazate with salicyldehyde and its Zn, Sb, Cu complexes showed cytotoxic properties.
Synthetic Action on Insecticides : Schiff base derived from sulfane thiadizole and salicylaldehyde or thiophene2-aldehydes and their complexes show toxicities against insects - Aminoacid Flourination on aldehyde part of Schiff base enhances insectocidal activity Schiff bases and their metal complexes N-acetylated compounds show growth inhibitory activity with seedling of wheat, Schiff bases show remarkable activities on plant hormone such as the auxins on root growth Schiff base of ester and carboxylic acid show remarkable activity as plant growth hormone Schiff bases of thiodiazole have good plant growth regulator activity towards auxin and cytokine.
Elemental analysis. Molar conductance. Infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Electronic spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Magnetic susceptibility. Mass spectroscopy. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). X-Ray diffraction (XRD).
IR Spectroscopy : IR spectroscopy is most widely used for information about the mode of linkage, presence of functional group, aromatic ring and sites of attachment of ligand to the metal ion, the nature of coordinate bond and stereochemistry of metal complexes. IR spectrum of a ligand after complexation with metal must differ from that of the free ligand. The difference between the IR spectra of the free ligand and their coordination compounds may be noted as; (1) Change in band positions. (2) Change in intensity of relative bands. (3) Splitting of single peak of ligand into several bands in the complexes. (4) Appearance of new bands. (5) Bands may broaden after coordination. (6) Disappearance of band frequency.
Thermal Analyses (TA) : Thermal analyses refer to a group of techniques in which a property of a sample is monitored against time or temperature while the temperature of the sample, in a specified atmosphere, is programmed. TG can directly record the loss in weight with time or temperature due to dehydration or decomposition. Thermogravimetric curves are characteristic of a given compound or system becausof the unique sequence of physiochemical reactions which occur over definite temperature ranges .
4. Experimental Work
Materials :In preparation of reagents, chemicals of analytical grade purity were used. Chemicals and solvents used for the preparation of Schiff base ligands and metal complexes are: Salicylaldehyde, p-Aminoacetophenone, Nickel (II) chloride, Mangenese(II) chloride, Ethanol, Methanol, Chloroform and Diethyl ether

Preparation of Metal complexes with Schiff Base (SAP) :To a solution of (2.390 g, 0.01mol) Schiff Base SAP in 50 mL MeOH and Nickel salt solution NiCl2.6H2O (1.188 g, 0.005 mol) were added dropwise with continual stirring and refluxed for four hours monitoring of the course of the reaction with TLC plate. The precipitate was ltered, washed with cold EtOH several times, recrystallized from EtOH, and dried to a constant weight. Same Procedure is applied for preparation of Manganese complex taking 2:1 mixture of ligand SAP (2.390 g, 0.01 mol) and Mn salt solution MnCl2.4H2O (0.989 g, 0.005 mol). The formation of the complexes may be represented by the following equation:2 LH + NiCl2.6H2O [ NiL2(H2O)2 ] + 2 HCl + 4H2O 2 LH + MnCl2.4H2O [ MnL2(H2O)2 ].2H2O + 2 HCl + 4H2O
5. Result and Discussion : The ligand SAP was synthesized by condensation of salicylaldehyde with paminoacetophenone. Complexes were identied by IR and thermogravimetric analyses of ligand and complexes. The ligand prepared is shining yellow; it is soluble in common organic solvents but insoluble in water. The manganese (II) and nickel (II) Schiff base complexes prepared are crystalline orange red and dark red respectively and have decomposition temperatures 214C and 221C,respectively. These high decomposition temperatures, revealed the stability of the complex compounds. The solubility tests carried out on the ligand and its nickel (II) & manganese (II) complex revealed that they are soluble in most common organic solvents but insoluble in water.

IR Spectra :The ligand contains two potential donorsites: The phenolic oxygen, The azomethine nitrogen, In the spectrum of the ligand there is a strong band at 1621 cm-1 due to the C=N (azomethine) mode. This band shifts to lower energy by 611 cm-1 in the complexes, indicating coordination through to azomethine nitrogen. The ligand exhibits a band at 3250 cm-1 due to OH (phenolic). The absence of this band in the complexes indicates the deprotonation of the phenolic groups and coordination of the oxygen atoms to metal ion. In the free ligand, a band at 1260 cm-1 due to CO (phenolic) shifts to higher frequency by 30 46 cm-1 in the complexes, indicating the coordination of the phenolic oxygen atom to the metal ion. The bands in the regions 511-556cm-1 and 450-485cm-1 are attributed to v(M-O) and v(M-N) stretching vibrations respectively, confirming the coordination of the Schiff base to the respective metal ions. The broad band in the region 3350-3560cm-1 is accorded to v(OH) stretching vibrations, a feature indicating the presence of water

Significance
Chemistry of metal complexes has progressed enormously perhaps because of their possible applications in the emerging areas like biotechnology, nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology besides having intellectual challenges involved in their structural arrangements. It has been found that coordination compounds exhibited a larger number of applications in past three decades. In recent years, these are being used in the field of medicine, molecular biology, industry and agriculture. However, the most important application of these in the area of catalysis, electrochemistry, dyes, pigments, photography, extractive metallurgy, geochemistry, nuclear fuel cycle, analytical chemistry and biomedical therapy.
