Schiff bases have important role in the development of [coordination & medicine] chemistry as they readily form new complexes with metals [8].These compounds are played in the field of bioinorganic chemistry and various aspects of organometallic compounds[9].They are formed by condensation of a primary amine (RNH2) and carbonyl compound.The (- HC=N-) group is particularly suited for binding to metal ions via the N atom lone pair (-N:) and when contain one or more donor atoms in addition to (-C=N-) group they act as[polydentate ligands or macrocycles].Schiff base and its complexes containing azomethine group (-HC=N-) as shown in scheme(1- 1).
