Design Strategies of Metal Complexes Based on Chelating Polymer Ligands and Their Application in Nanomaterials Science

Recent advances in metallopolymer-based drug delivery systems

“…Metallopolymers (MPs) or metal-containing polymers are one of the main classes of polymers discovered in the 20th century. [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Various locations of metal centers from main group metals to transition metals and lanthanides relative to the polymer backbone were described by Wolf as Type I, Type II or Type III ( Fig. 1), in which the metal center is either tethered to the polymer backbone by an organic linker, either covalently coupled to the backbone, or directly included in the polymer backbone, respectively.…”

Solvent Dependent Prototropic Tautomerism in a Schiff Base Derived from o‐Vanillin and 2‐Aminobenzylalcohol

“…During the last decades a huge number of Schiff bases (SBs) have been designed and investigated as effective ligands with diverse functionalities, models of important biochemical processes and physical phenomena, perspective pharmaceuticals with anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal and other bioactivities, analytical reagents, candidates for catalytical, energy storage and nanoscale multifunctional materials . Combination of useful chemical, physical and biological properties along with relative simplicity of preparation and modification makes SBs ones of the most popular objects in the modern chemical science.…”

An electrochemical detection of cadmium (II) and lead (II) ions using a polymer-modified electrode with a Schiff base by square wave voltammetry

“…Recently, contamination from heavy metals has become a signi cant problem as a result of the rapid development of industrial activities [5]. Contamination of the environment, especially with cadmium (II) and lead (II) ions, poses a real danger to human health because these ions are toxic, non-biodegradable, and accumulate in the body [6,7]. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the maximum permitted concentrations of cadmium (II) and lead (II) in drinking water are 5 μg L -1 and 50 μg L -1 , respectively [8].…”

“…The chemically modi ed polymer electrode can be prepared and controlled using electrochemical techniques that allow for the generation of a thin synthetic polymer lm [23]. In modern electroanalytical devices, analytical performance in areas such as sensitivity, selectivity, and stability was dependent on electrode composition due to the straightforward working mechanism and fast responses achieved [7]. Various modes can be used including square wave voltammetry (SWV), which is considered a perfect candidate for sensitivity and quanti cation of various species such as alkaloids, phenols, vitamins, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, benzoquinones, proteins, terpenoids, drugs and heavy metals [24,25].…”
