Salpn is the common name for a chelating ligand, properly called N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-propanediamine, used as a motor oil additive.[1]

The molecular structure of pure (metal-free) salpn, sometimes denoted H₂(salpn) or salpnH₂, can be described as the salen ligand with a methyl group attached to the ethylene bridge.

As in the case of salen compound, the actual ligand is usually the conjugate base salpn^2-, the divalent anion that result from the metal-free compound by the loss of two hydroxyl protons. This dianion is commonly denoted "(salpn)" in formulas of metal complexes.

The abbreviation "salpn" is also sometimes used for the structural isomer N,N‘-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane and its conjugate base.[2]

Preparation

The synthesis of salpn is achieved by a condensation reaction of 1,2-diaminopropane with salicylaldehyde:

2C₆H₄(OH)CHO + CH₃CH(NH₂)CH₂NH₂ → [C₆H₄(OH)CH]₂CH₃CHNCH₂N + 2H₂O

Uses

Salpn is used as a fuel additive as a metal deactivator in motor oils. Trace metals degrade the fuels by catalyzing oxidation processes that lead to gums and solids. Metal deactivators like salpn form stable coordination compounds with the metals, suppressing their catalytic activity.[1] While salpn forms stable chelate complexes with many metals including copper, iron, chromium, and nickel, it is the coordination with copper that makes it a popular choice as a fuel additive. Copper has the highest catalytic activity in fuel, and salpn forms a highly stable square planar complex with the metal.[3]

Salpn is preferred over salen, possibly because it has higher solubility in non-polar liquids.

gollark: > One inadequately solved design problem was the need for heavy shielding to protect the crew and those on the ground from acute radiation syndrome; other potential problems included dealing with crashes.[2] ah yes.

gollark: That is not much of an issue. The carbon dioxide production from them is. If we ran out somehow, it would be possible to synthesize more (with energy input, obviously).

gollark: Also, I think there are some nuclear plane concepts? Generally they use the heat from the nuclear stuff directly in some way.

gollark: This is probably far beyond the life expectancy of a plane.

gollark: > And also if you have a kerosene powered plane it will become useless in however many years when a drop of oil costs $100
