A review on synthesis, characterizations, and applications of Schiff base functionalized nanoparticles

Nanotechnology has shown a promising future in material science for its enormous applications in the field of analytical, biological, catalytic, electroanalytical fields and so on. Recent nanoscience has given huge effort to enhance the applicability of nanoparticles (NPs) though modification or functionalization process, which makes its more sophisticated than the conventional one. In this modification process, nanoparticles (NPs) are stabilized or factionalized using organic, inorganic, metal complexes, and even with Schiff base (SB) ligands and their metal complexes. Schiff-base ligand functionalized NPs have wide applicability in catalytic process, antioxidant, antifungal, and analytical techniques due to enhancing of interfacial area between SB ligands and nanoparticles. The functionalized NPs have been introduced as a sensor for the detection of minute level of…
