| Abstract: Five novel chiral dinuclear Salen complexes M2L (M = Fe3+Cl-, Mn3+Cl-, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+) and Ba2+-crown ether complex H4BaL(ClO4)2 were synthesized. The complexes were synthesized by reaction between ligand 3(H4L) and corresponding metal salts (FeCl3, Mn(OAc)2·4H2O, Co(OAc)2·4H2O, Ni(OAc)2·4H2O, Cu(OAc)2·H2O, Ba(ClO4)2·2H2O). The chiral two discrete Salen ligand 3 was condensed from 3,3′-[Oxybis(2,l-ethanediyloxy)]bis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and (R,R)-1,2-diamino-cyclohexane. The structure of complexes is two discrete Salen unit bridged with crown ether from two sides. We found that ligand 3 had three complex cites. The two N2O2 cavities can found complexes with d-metals (compound 4), while the O10 cavity can found complex with alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals (compound 5). The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, 1H NMR, Mass-spectra, FT-IR, UV-Vis and CD spectra. The FT-IR, UV-Vis and CD spectra property of complexes were minutely analyzed. |
