Summary:Multimetallic salen complexes have found utility in a number of fields from materials chemistry to catalysis. The objective of this perspective is to discuss the development of new synthetic strategies to multitopic ligands based on Schiff base chemistry, and the isolation and study of the resulting metal complexes. Developments in catalysis, magnetism, electronic structure, and small-molecule sensing are presented demonstrating the considerable potential of these ligand constructs in facilitating new chemistry. The use of multimetallic salen complexes in a number of fields from materials chemistry to catalysis is discussed.
Bibliography:Ryan Clarke completed his BSc at Mount Allison University in 2012 under the supervision of Professor Khashayar Ghandi working on free-radical reactions in supercritical carbon dioxide. He then moved to Simon Fraser University to pursue graduate studies under the direction of Professor Tim Storr as a recipient of a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Alexander Graham Bell scholarship. Ryan's research interests are focused on bimetallic complexes and their catalytic and electronic properties. Tim Storr completed his PhD at the University of British Columbia as an NSERC scholar in 2005 under the direction of Professor Chris Orvig. His doctoral work was in the field of medicinal inorganic chemistry and involved the development of new agents to diagnose and/or treat diseases including diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University with Professor T. Daniel P. Stack investigating the reactivity of metalloenzyme mimics. In the fall of 2008 he moved to Simon Fraser University as an Assistant Professor and has concentrated his research on ligand design in the fields of bioinorganic chemistry and catalysis. His research is funded by NSERC and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research.
