Novel Schiff's Base-Assisted Synthesis of metal-ligand nanostructures for Multi-Functional Applications: Detection of catecholamines/antibiotics, removal of tetracycline, and Antifungal Treatment against plant pathogens

The development of nanozymes (NZ) for the simultaneous detection of multiple target chemicals is gaining paramount attention in the field of food and health sciences, and waste management industries. Nanozymes (NZ) effectively compensate for the environmental vulnerability of natural enzymes. Considering the development gap of NZ with diverse applications, we synthesized versatile Schiff's base ligands following a facile route and readily available starting reagents (glutaraldehyde, aminopyridines). DPDI, one of the synthesized ligands, readily reacted with transition metal ions (Cu
