Chemical compound
Salen
refers to a
tetradentate
C
2
-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 properties
[
edit
]
H
2
salen may be synthesized by the
condensation
of ethylenediamine and salicylaldehyde.

Salcomine, a complex of salen with cobalt
Jacobsen's salen-Mn catalyst
Complexes of salen with metal cations may be made without isolating it from the reaction mixture.
[4]
[5]
This is possible because the stability constant for the formation of the metal complexes are very high, due to the
chelate effect
.

where L stands for the ligand. The
pyridine
adduct of the cobalt(II) complex Co(salen)(py) (
salcomine
) has a
square-pyramidal structure
; it can act as a
dioxygen carrier
by forming a labile, octahedral O
2
complex.
[6]
[7]
The name "salen ligands" is used for
tetradentate
ligands which have similar structures. For example, in
salpn
there is a methyl substituent on the bridge. It is used as a
metal deactivation
additive in fuels.
[8]
The presence of bulky groups near the coordination site may enhance the catalytic activity of a metal complex and prevent its dimerization. Salen ligands derived from
3,5-di-
tert
-butylsalicylaldehyde
fulfill these roles, and also increase the solubility of the complexes in non-polar solvents like
pentane
. Chiral "salen" ligands may be created by proper substitution of the diamine backbone, the phenyl ring, or both.
[5]
An example is the ligand obtained by
condensation
of the
C
2
-symmetric
trans
-1,2-
diaminocyclohexane
with 3,5-di-
tert
-butylsalicylaldehyde. Chiral ligands may be used in
asymmetric synthesis
reactions, such as the
Jacobsen epoxidation
:

[11]
A class of tetradentate ligands with the generic name
acacen
are obtained by the condensation of derivatives of
acetylacetone
and
ethylenediamine
.
[11]
Cobalt complexes [Co(acacen)L
2
]
+
, selectively inhibit the activities of histidine-containing proteins through exchange of the axial ligands. These compounds show promise for the inhibition of
oncogenesis
.
[12]
The
salan
and
salalen
ligands are similar in structure to salen ligands, but have one or two saturated nitrogen-aryl bonds (
amines
rather than
imines
). They tend to be less rigid and more electron rich at the metal center than the corresponding salen complexes.
[13]
[14]
Salans can be synthesized by the alkylation of an appropriate amine with a phenolic
alkyl halide
. The “half-salen” ligands have only one salicylimine group. They are prepared from a salicylaldehyde and a monoamine.
[15]
The name “salen” or “salen-type” may be used for other ligands that have similar environment around the chelating site, namely two acidic hydroxyls and two
Schiff base
(aryl-
imine
) groups. These include the ligands abbreviated as salph, from the condensation of
1,2-phenylenediamine
and salicylaldehyde, and
salqu
, from the condensation of salicylaldehyde and
2-quinoxalinol
.
