Synthesis and characterization of some chiral metal-salen complexes bearing a ferrocenophane substituent

Molecules. 2009 Oct 26;14(11):4312-25. doi: 10.3390/molecules14114312.

Abstract

The C(2)-symmetrical "salen" ligand (+)-9 bearing two [5]ferrocenophane substituents has been prepared in five steps starting from readily available diacetylferrocene, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and (R,R)-N,N'-diphenylethylenediamine. Reaction of (+)-9 with Mn(OAc)(3), Co(OAc)(2) ZnEt(2) or UO(2)(OAc)(2) gave the corresponding metal-complexes which were characterised by spectroscopic methods.
