Rare earth metal (RE) complexes containing salen ligands play important roles for biological, medical and material purposes. We have synthesized and X-ray characterized a series of neutral, cationic and anionic mononuclear rare earth metal complexes containing salen ligands. Salen and their derivatives acting as ligands for rare metal complexes have been adapted in the facile route syntheses, luminescent investigations and thermal studies in our group. We here present the molecular structures of anionic mononuclear rare earth metal complexes by using chloro-derivative salen ligands in the general formula of [RE(salenCl)2]-, [RE(CysalenCl)2]- and [RE(PhsalenCl)2]- .
