Schiff’s Bases as Potential Mapping Agents for Iron Traces on Skin

Invisible impression of weapon which are left on holder's palm form an important evidence during investigation of a crime. Identifying the traces of such metals is finding an increasing role of chemists in forensic science. A few reagents like 8 hydroxyquinoline and triazines have been tried for this purpose but their usage entails a number of drawbacks as well. We report here the utility of schiff's bases as potential reagents for mapping the traces of iron left on skin after the suspect held the weapon made up of iron or an alloy of iron.
