This book presents the synthesis, characterization and biomedical applications of lanthanide Schiff base complexes from specially designed organic ligands. Examples of these complexes are readily available through a controlled coordination reaction between Ln(III) ions and multidentate Schiff base ligands developed to stabilize and define the metal-ion coordination bond. A variety of advanced analytical characterization methods including FT-IR, UV-Vis, NMR, Mass spectrometry, SEM-EDX, TGA, and XRD were used to study the multivalent ligands and assess structural properties, coordination...
