Salen refers to a tetradentate C2-symmetric ligand synthesized from salicylaldehyde (sal) and ethylenediamine (en). It may also refer to a class of compounds, which are structurally related to the classical salen ligand, primarily bis-Schiff bases. Salen ligands are notable for coordinating a wide range of different metals, which they can often stabilise in various oxidation states.[1] For this reason salen-type compounds are used as metal deactivators. Metal salen complexes also find use as catalysts.[2]

Synthesis and complexation

edit

H2salen may be synthesized by the condensation of ethylenediamine and salicylaldehyde.[3]

 
 
Salcomine, a complex of salen with cobalt
 
Jacobsen's salen-Mn catalyst

Complexes of salen with metal cations can often be made in situ, i.e., without isolating the H2salen.[4][5]

H2salen + M2+ → M(salen) + 2 H+
