**5. Conclusion**

Schiff bases and their metal complexes formed are the essential components of coordination and bioinorganic chemistry. The food industry, the agrochemical industry, the dye industry, analytical chemistry, catalysis, energy storage, the environmental field, chemo-sensing, bio-sensing, and the biomedical sector are some of the domains in which these have been used. This chapter discusses the conventional synthesis and environmentally friendly synthesis, as well as the categorization of Schiff bases and their metal complexes. Research into its applications in other fields of interest, such as catalysis, metal ion sensing, and cell imaging, makes its study relevant and worthy of being pursued.
