A simple and general synthetic protocol to obtain oligosaccharide-appended salicylaldehydes, key intermediates for the synthesis of water-soluble metal–salophen complexes, is here reported. Six new aldehydes have been prepared and fully characterized as well as the corresponding zinc– and uranyl–salophen complexes. These new derivatives show very good solubility in water. Preliminary studies on the association of compound 19-U, that is, the uranyl maltotetraose derivative, with hydrogen phosphate and fluoride provide very encouraging results and open up the possibility of using such compounds for the efficient recognition of anions in pure water.
