Why is it important?

A novel salen ligand (+)-9 bearing two [5]ferrocenophane para-substituents on the salicylideneamine rings has been synthesized starting from readily available diacetylferrocene, phydroxybenzaldehyde and (R,R)-dpen and its complexes with four different metals have been also prepared and characterised.

Perspectives

The evaluation of the use of these complexes as ligands in asymmetric synthesis is currently under investigation.
