Synthesis and properties

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 may be made without isolating it from the reaction mixture.

A class of tetradentate ligands with the generic name acacen are obtained by the condensation of derivatives of

oncogenesis.[12]

The salan and salalen ligands are similar in structure to salen ligands, but have one or two saturated nitrogen-aryl bonds (

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
