Abstract

The transition metal complexes of Vo, Co, Ni and Cu with multidentate ligand is important due to the growing applications in catalysis and therapeutics, Vanadium in traces has multiple biological roles, therapeutic value in small doses and toxic in excess. Vanadium containing compounds have their utility as insulin mimetic and antiamoebic agent. It is also suggested that vanadium could be considered as a representative of a new class of non platinum metal antitumor agents. The studies of these compounds are very important as medicinal properties in correlation with their structure have great interaction.
