Key Points

To investigate the bond strength and nature of metal–ligand interactions in complexes of selected metals with salen ligands.
Theoretical calculations of geometries of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes.
Analysis of a series of fifty substituted salen ligands.
Assessment of bond strengths in metal–ligand complexes.
Characterization of bond strength variations among the metal complexes.
Insights into the nature of ligand bonding in the context of symmetry and substitution.
Theoretical models provide a detailed perspective on metal coordination.

Implication

Theoretical study reveals bond strength and nature of ligand bonding in metal complexes of salen ligands, suggesting new insights into coordination chemistry.

Abstract

Herein, we describe a theoretical study on the strength and nature of metal–ligand bonds in Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes of fifty substituted salen ligands. Initially, the geometries of all...
