Metal Complexes with Schiff Bases as Antimicrobials and Catalysts

Complexes of Schiff bases (SBs) with metals are promising compounds exhibiting a broad range applications, such as catalysts, polymers, dyes, and several biological activities, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, antimalarial, analgesic, antiviral, antipyretic, antidiabetic actions. Considering the crisis that whole world is now facing against antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, in present review, we chose to focus on activity SBs antimicrobials, particularly underlying most recent studies this field. Finally, some interesting catalytic applications recently described for metal complexes have also been discussed.
