The present Book describes research on synthesis and characterization of metal complexes for biological evaluations. Metal ions complexes can be introduced into a biological system either for therapeutic effect or as diagnostic aids. Here, focus on this book for design and synthesis of copper (II) and palladium (II) complexes, which exhibit, antibacterial activity (MIC) against Gram (-ve) and Gram (+ve) bacteria, Interaction between small molecules and DNA can often cause DNA damage in cancer cells and also investigate cytotoxicity studies.

Fullerene (C60) is the third allotrope of carbon next to diamond and graphite also called as Buckyball. The unique physical and chemical properties of these new forms of carbon run many researchers to expect a number of technological applications and hence they have been the subject of penetrating research, predominantly in the fields of materials science, medicinal chemistry, photosynthetic systems and sensors. Thus, the aim of this book is the design, synthesis and investigation of a functionalized fullerenes compounds and their biological properties such as anti-bacterial, DNA...

Crown ether is an early example of macrocyclic compound, crown ethers are generally composed of repeating ethylene components containing several ether groups. Crown ethers have the remarkable properties of recognizing and binding specific metal cations in complex mixtures. Schiff bases have played a significant role in the development of co-ordination chemistry as they readily form stable complexes with most transition metals. Therefore, this book highlighting on synthesis of crown ether Schiff bases, different types of crown ethers and its applications in various areas like, ion selective...
