Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the synthesis, structural characterization, and applications of Ru(II), Ru(III), and Ru(VI) complexes, which bear tetradentate Schiff bases of salen type. Ruthenium complexes exhibit catalytic, electrochemical, and biological properties, serving as multifunctional platforms that integrate fundamental aspects of coordination chemistry with potential practical applications.
Keywords: ruthenium complex; salen; Schiff base; N,O-donor ligand ruthenium complex; salen; Schiff base; N,O-donor ligand
