Reactions between CuCl2 and the functionalized scorpionate 2,2,2-tris(1-pyrazolyl)ethanol HOCH2C(pz)31 (pz = pyrazolyl) or 2,2,2-tris(1-pyrazolyl)ethyl methanesulfonate CH3SO2OCH2C(pz)32 yield corresponding water soluble CuII complexes [CuCl2{HOCH2C(pz)3}] 3 [CuCl2{CH3SO2OCH2C(pz)3}]24. In ligand shows typical N,N,N-coordination mode, whereas in dinuclear complex 4 it binds metal as a bidentate species. Compounds 1-4 have been characterized by IR, far-IR, elemental analysis (for 2-4) single...
The V-scorpionate vanadium complexes [VCl 3 {HC(pz) }] (pz = pyrazolyl) and {SO C(pz) catalyze cyclohexane oxidation with dioxygen, to cyclohexanol (the main product) cyclohexanone, under solvent-free conditions. provides the best activity (13 % conversion into ketone alcohol, high selectivity, at O 2 pressure of 15 atm, 140 ºC, 18 h reaction time). is further promoted (to conversion) by pyrazinecarboxylic acid (PCA). use C- or O-radical traps supports involvement a free-radical mechanism....
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with Ni/Co have been prepared using an arc discharge technique and Ni/Co–carbon composite rods in inert atmosphere were surface modified 3-aminophenyl trimethoxysilane. These NH2-functionalized magnetic used as a novel support for Pd(II) Pt(II) pincer complexes immobilized nano-catalysts. The morphology of the catalysts characterized by IR, EPR, SEM, TGA, TEM, XRD, AAS EDS analysis. nano-catalysts tested on industrially important cyclohexane (Cy-hx)...
Tri-pyrazolyl methane europium complex, [Eu{HC(pz)<sub>3</sub>}(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>]Cl<sub>3</sub> with PMMA gel, PVA gel and HMS-PVA, have been synthesized checked for unit mass luminescence emission lifetime application.
The ethylthio alkane ligands i.e. di(ethylthio)ethane, I, and di(ethylthio)propane, II, have been used for the synthesis of Pd(II) complexes. These complexes were covalently anchored to modified MCM-41 matrix as supported hybrid catalysts (MCM-41/I Pd–I MCM-41/II Pd–II). Remarkable catalytic effects observed when these act in n-hexane n-heptane reformation reactions presence H2. Catalyst provided high TONs 2325 with 91% selectivity 2145 88% under optimized relatively mild conditions. A...
A series of derivative C-scorpionate rhenium complexes, i.e., [ReCl2{NNC(O)C6H5}(Hpz)(PPh3)2] (A) (where Hpz is pyrazole), [ReCl2{NNC(O)C6H5}(Hpz)2(PPh3)] (B), [ReClF{NNC(O)C6H5}(Hpz)2(PPh3)] (C), and their precursor [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] (D), immobilized on 3-aminopropyl-functionalized silica have been prepared used for neat O2 oxidation n-hexane n-heptane mainly to the corresponding alcohols and, in lower amounts, ketones. The supported catalyst C, with fluoro- diazenido-ligands, exhibits...
