In this work, two novel dinuclear cobalt complexes, [CoII(hbqc)(H2O)]2 (Co-Cl) and [CoII(hbqn)(H2O)]2 (Co-NO2), featuring benzimidazole derived redox-active ligand have been synthesized to investigate their catalytic activities toward electrocatalytic proton reduction (where hbqc is 2-{[6-chloro-2-(8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]methyl}quinolin-8-ol hbqn 2-{[6-nitro-2-(8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]methyl}quinolin-8-ol). The electrochemical responses in 95/5...
Abstract An efficient, metal‐free, catalyst‐free and solvent‐free methodology for the reductive amination of levulinic acid with different anilines has been developed using HBpin as reducing reagent. This protocol offers an excellent method to avoid solvents added catalysts on synthesis kinds N ‐substituted pyrrolidones under metal free conditions. It is also first report by well methods. The proposed mechanism formation pyrrolidone supported DFT calculations control experiments.
A novel dinuclear copper complex, [CuII2(L1)2] (L1 = 2-{[2-(8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]methyl}quinolin-8-ol) was synthesised and characterised through various spectroscopic techniques. This complex (as an electrocatalyst) employed to examine the catalytic ability towards electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Redox studies in 95/5 (v/v) DMF/H2O with addition of 30-equivalent AcOH (acid source) led higher activities for HER. The evolved H2, as resultant product,...
