Introduction: Schiff base ligands are easily synthesized and readily form complexes with a wide range of metal ions. They are favored due to their straightforward preparation, synthetic flexibility, and the distinctive properties of the C=N (azomethine) group. Schiff bases are generally excellent chelating agents, particularly when hydroxyl (–OH) or thiol …
Introduction: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, primarily generated during the incomplete combustion of organic materials such as coal, oil, petrol, and wood. These compounds are mostly colorless, white, or pale yellow solids [1]. PAHs can be categorized into two groups: low molecular weight PAHs, containing fewer than …
Introduction: Thermal decomposition kinetic analysis using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) provides a rapid and accurate method for describing reaction systems. One of the main advantages of this technique is the ability to predict material performance at temperatures and times that can be easily tested. The values of kinetic parameters significantly …
Introduction: The primary purpose of biomaterials is to replace damaged or diseased tissues. First-generation biomaterials were designed to be bio-inert, mainly interacting with host tissues to minimize inflammation or wound formation. In 1969, Professor Larry Hench introduced bioactive glasses, which facilitated interfacial bonding with surrounding tissues, marking the development of …
Introduction: The chemistry of Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes has grown tremendously, covering a wide range of organometallic compounds as well as diverse aspects of bioinorganic chemistry [4]. Schiff base ligands are often referred to as “privileged ligands” because they are typically synthesized through the condensation of aldehydes …
