Expedient method for the transmetalation of Zn(II)-centered salphen complexes.
Various mono- and bis-ZnII complexes derived from salphen ligands have been conveniently transmetalated with a number of transition metal (TM) acetates (M=Ni, Pd, Mn) in THF to afford their respective TM-salphen counterparts in excellent isolated yields (80-100%). This new transmetalation procedure allows in situ switching between supramolecular and catalytic functions of the metallosalphen complex.
