Description
Luis Barreras-Contreras and co-authors review Schiff bases as one chemical platform serving many technologies at once. Their 2025 review covers a family of compounds that grip transition metals tightly, forming complexes with striking traits. Earlier reviews treated single uses in isolation: killing microbes, speeding reactions, sensing by light, or harvesting sunlight.
The gap this review fills is the joining of those uses. Metal binding boosts the compounds' action against microbes, oxidation, and cancer cells. Careful structural tuning widens their use in making single-handed molecules. Light-emitting variants are maturing into chemical sensors. Other derivatives feed solar-cell materials. The authors argue that the family's many-sided usefulness, spanning medicine and materials, is the real story.
