Synthesis and structures of new salen complexes with bulky groups

摘要

A new series of Schiff base complexes [Fe(III), VO(II), Pd(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II)] has been developed. The ligand possesses bulky t-pentyl groups at the 3- and 5-positions. The iron (III) complex is obtained in monomeric form with a square-pyramidal configuration while the copper complex is with square-planar configuration. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
