The supramolecular attitude of metal-salophen and metal-salen complexes

Abstract

In this review we cover some aspects of metal-salophen and metal-salen complex chemistry related to their supramolecular attitude. We examined under the lens of the non-covalent interactions their potential to behave as building blocks for auto-assembled architectures, supramolecular receptors and catalysts, although this last point has been only briefly mentioned.
