The present book incorporates the results of the synthesis, characterization and several biological aspects of the azomethine complexes of titanium(IV) and zirconium(IV). The azomethines used in these studies are hydrazinecarboxamides, hydrazinecarbothioamides, S-benzyldithiocarbazates, S-methyldithiocarbazates and benzothiazo-lines. These azomethines and their corresponding metal complexes were synthesized by both the synthetic procedures, i.e., microwave as well as the column heating. A comparison has been made between these two synthetic methods, on the basis of the yield of the products,...
