A comprehensive overview of the synthesis, structures, and applications of di and polynuclear cadmium complexes with salen-type ligands

Salen-type N,O donor Schiff base ligands have been widely used to synthesize varieties of di and polynuclear cadmium complexes with interesting structures, properties, and applications. This review focuses light on the synthesis, structures, and applications of these complexes. This review represents the synthesis, structures, and various applications of di and polynuclear cadmium(II)-salen complexes.
