The College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Basrah  in the Chemistry Department discussed a master’s thesis on the preparation of cobalt (II), nickel (II), and copper (II) complexes with Schiff bases derived from 4-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine and a theoretical and biological study.
The message submitted by the researcher (Zahraa Salman Fadel) included:
Study of the preparation of Schiff base complexes and study of the biological effectiveness of the banned compounds against cervical and esophageal cancer cells and comparison with normal cells. Some of the banned compounds had an inhibitory effect on cancer cells.
A theoretical study was also conducted and examined according to Penski's rules, which gave the impression that these compounds are candidates for medical and pharmaceutical applications.
As well as a study of nonlinearity in the laboratories of the Physics Department, which gave some compounds highly efficient optical activity.
