An overview of copper complexes with diamine-based N4 donor bis-pyridine Schiff base ligands: Synthesis, structures, magnetic properties and applications

Different synthetic routes and structures of several copper complexes with several diamine-based N4 donor bis-pyridine Schiff base ligands have been gathered. Their structures and magnetic properties have been discussed in detail. In the mononuclear complexes, copper shows either octahedral or square pyramidal geometry. The ap-plications of the complexes have also been included in the review.
