Abstract : The literature reveals that the Schiff base ligands are excellent Co-ordinating ligand as it forms a stable complex with different transition ions. In an ethanol medium with acetic acid, benzaldehyde and meta-nitroaniline condense to produce Schiff's bases. A condensation reaction between aniline and benzaldehyde produces an oxonium ion, which then engages in a traditional electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
