Abstract
| - Lanthanide nitrate reacted with H2salen at room temperature in MeOH/CH2Cl2 affording a novel polymeric chain complex, [La(H2salen)(NO3)3(MeOH)2]n. The complex displayed an unusual coordination pattern where the imine nitrogen atoms of the H2salen molecule were not coordinated. Instead, the two phenolic oxygen atoms, which were often believed to be uncoordinated in previous studies, were found to coordinate respectively to two La atoms.
