Abstract

Schiff bases are versatile ligands which are synthesized by the condensation of primary amines with carbonyl groups of aldehydes or ketones. The fluorescence intensity can be increased by the formation of metal complex. Anthranilic acid or 2-aminophenol reacts with aldehydes or ketones forming bidentate or tridentate ligands which are able to form complex with transition metals. These ligands/chelates forming complexes with Zn(II) and Cu(II) metal ions. The Zn(II) complexes are yellow in nature while Cu(II) light blue color shows absorption in UV region.
