description Coordination compounds, characterized by the coordination of metal ions with ligands, represent a pivotal area of research in chemistry due to their diverse structures and versatile applications. This review delves into the synthesis, characterization, biological evaluation, and practical applications of these compounds. A variety of synthetic methodologies (traditional solution-based techniques) are discussed to highlight advancements in the field. Investigations into the structural, electronic, and spectral properties of coordination compounds are emphasized to provide insights into their functional attributes. The biological evaluation section focuses on their roles in antimicrobial, anticancer, and enzyme-inhibitory activities, underscoring their potential in therapeutic development. Attention is paid to nanoparticles, which are increasingly used for the treatment of oncological diseases. The metal complexes have been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties. Additionally, the review explores their applications across domains such as catalysis, illustrating their multifaceted utility. By synthesizing recent findings and trends, this article aims to bridge the gap between fundamental chemistry and applied sciences, paving the way for innovative uses of coordination compounds in both biological and industrial contexts.
