During the past decades, considerable attention has been drawn towards the synthesis of azo-azomethine ligands. These compounds can be advanced into materials for nonlinear optics, optical storage media, chemosensors, liquid crystals, photochemical molecular switches, nanotubes andin manufacture of protective eye glasses and filters. Moreover, transition metal complexes of azoimine compounds have been targeted because of their impressive chemical and physical properties. Also, the reduced Schiff base ligands provide suitable conformational and coordination environments for the metal ions.
