Schiff base metal complexes have been widely studied because they have industrial, antifungal, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral and herbicidal applications. Interest in the design, synthesis and characterization of unsymmetrical Schiff base ligands stem from this fact that the central metal ions in natural systems are unsymmetrical. Synthesis of such ligands is rather difficult compared to their symmetrical counterparts. On this basis, in this thesis, a new unsymmetrical Schiff base Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes, with the formula: 1) [Zn(Br 2 -Salabza)(H 2 O)] 2) [Cu(Br 2 -Salabza)] have also been synthesized and characteraized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, Xray and elemental analysis, and the electrochemical behavior of the synthesized compounds has also been investigated. Zinc(II) and Copper(II) complexes was employed as a novel precursor in thermal decomposition process. The ZnO and CuO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), infrared (IR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy.
