Abstract

In this article, we explore the capacity of formed Schiff base complexes to trap metal atoms or ions, using their aromatic ends. The intrinsic geometry of each complex defines the process of substitution. Two cases were studied; one involving a trans Schiff base complex and the other considering how a salen ligand, with nickel systems traps chromium. We also assessed the nature of the new bonds and the frontier molecular orbitals. Graphical abstract Two salen nickel compounds are joint by a Cr(0) atom forming an organometallic interaction.
