Schiff bases, named after Hugo Schiff, are imine-based ligands formed through the condensation reaction between primary amines and carbonyl compounds, typically aldehydes or ketones . These highly versatile ligands exhibit pronounced chelating abilities, stabilizing a wide range of metal ions by forming robust coordination complexes . Their electronic tunability, structural diversity, and thermal stability make Schiff base-metal complexes indispensable in modern coordination chemistry, particularly in catalytic and electrocatalytic processes . Among these, nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) Schiff base complexes have garnered significant attention due to their inherent redox-active centers, facile ligand-field modulations, and tailored coordination geometries, which collectively enhance their catalytic efficacy.
