Abstract Acetylacetonate containing Schiff base and their metal complexes has a wide range of applications in microbiology as anti-microbial agents, the chemical industry as catalyst, and is an important chemical in cancer treatement. The extra-ordinary ligating properties of acetylacetonate enable them to form a large number of complex compounds with transition metals, a vast majority of which find abundant applications in potential areas. This has stimulated researchers to explore novel applications of the synthesized ligands and the metal complexes thereof. This review presents a report of the studies on the biological activities, anticancer properties, and catalytic activities of acetylacetonate and their metal complexes. Top Keywords Acetylacetonate, Biological activities, Anticancer properties, And catalytic activities. Top |
