“…As we know, Salen-type ligands (R-CH=N-(CH 2 ) 2 -N=CH-R) and their metal complexes have been extensively investigated in modern coordination chemistry for several decades [1][2][3][4][5], which have been extensively investigated in potential application in biological fields [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], electrochemical conducts [14,15], nonlinear optical materials [16][17][18][19][20], magnetic materials [21][22][23][24][25], luminescence properties [26][27][28][29][30][31][32], and supramolecular architecture [33][34][35][36][37], and so on. Chemical modifications of substituent or functional groups in the Salen N 2 O 2 ligands are effective in exchanging the structures or the main functions of complexes, such as salamo ligand, a Salen analogue, (R-CH=N-O-(CH) n -O-N=CH-R) is one of the most versatile ligands and the large electronegativity of oxygen atoms is expected to strongly affect the electronic properties of the N 2 O 2 coordination sphere, which can lead to different and novel structures and properties of the resulting complexes [38].…”
