Abstract
This review provides an overview of the synthesis, characterization and application of coordination polymers based on N,O-donor Schiff base ligands. The coordination polymers (CPs) represent a novel class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials with tunable compositions and fascinating structures. They are composed of metal ions and organic ligands. Therefore, the nature of the metal ion and type of organic ligand is the most significant factor in constructing targeted coordination polymers with the desired properties. Due to the versatile coordination modes, N,O-donor Schiff base ligands are also used to construct various CPs.
