Recent Advances in Urea- and Thiourea-Based Metal Complexes: Biological, Sensor, Optical, and Corroson Inhibition Studies

Ureas and thioureas, otherwise known as carbamides and thiocarbamides, respectively, are rich sources of nitrogen. Urea has a wide range of applications in agriculture, the chemical industry, and automobile systems, and is an important chemical in medical uses. Thiourea, an organosulfur compound, has long been known as an important reagent in organic synthesis, and has been employed in textile processing, used as a source of sulphides, and acts...
