Transition metal complexes with Schiff-base ligands: 4-aminoantipyrine based derivatives–a review

The survey highlights structural properties and biological studies of transition metal complexes derived from 4-aminoantipyrine. The most important results of extensive studies (syntheses, spectral, magnetic, redox, structural characteristics, antimicrobial and DNA cleavage) of the metal complexes with heterocyclic Schiff bases of 4-aminoantipyrine with some aldehydes and oximes are reviewed.
