Cyclic voltammetric study of the catalytic behavior of nickel(I) salen electrogenerated at a glassy carbon electrode in an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, BMIMBF4)

Cyclic voltammetry has been employed to examine the electrochemistry of nickel(II) salen at a glassy carbon electrode in an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, BMIM⁺BF₄⁻). Residual water in the ionic liquid can be eliminated by introduction of activated molecular sieves into the electrochemical cell. Nickel(II) salen exhibits a one-electron, quasi-reversible reduction to nickel(I) salen, and the latter species serves as a catalyst for the cleavage of carbon–halogen bonds in iodoethane and 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (Freon^® 113). In BMIM⁺BF₄⁻ the diffusion coefficient for nickel(II) salen at room temperature has been determined to be 1.8×10⁻⁸ cm² s⁻¹, which is more than 500 times smaller than that (1.0×10⁻⁵ cm² s⁻¹) in a typical organic solvent–electrolyte system such as dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 0.10 M tetramethylammonium tetrafluoroborate.     

Selective Polymerization Catalysis from Monomer Mixtures: Using a Commercial Cr‐Salen Catalyst To Access ABA Block Polyesters

ABA triblock polyesters are synthesized using a commercially available chromium salen catalyst, in one pot, from monomer mixtures comprising epoxide, anhydride and lactone. The catalysis is highly selective and applies a single catalyst in two distinct pathways. It occurs first by epoxide/anhydride ring‐opening copolymerization and subsequently by lactone ring‐opening polymerization. It is used to produce various new ABA polyester polyols; these polyols can undergo post‐functionalization and chain‐extension reactions. The ability to use a commercial catalyst and switchable catalysis with monomer mixtures is expected to facilitate future explorations of new classes of block polymers.

Novel Liquid Membrane Electrode for Selective Determination of Monohydrogenphosphate

A highly selective and sensitive membrane electrode based on vanadyl salen complex (VS), which responds to monohydrogenphosphate (MHP) ions is described. The response of the sensor is Nernstian over the wide concentration range (1.0×10^?1 ? 5.0×10^?6 M) of MHP. The sensitivity of the electrode is high enough to permit the detection of as little as 0.6 μg/mL of MHP without any significant interference from high levels of other anions. The potentiometric selectivity coefficient data revealed negligible interference from 11 common anions. The electrode has a fast response time (<25 s), good slope stability at pH 8.2 for a period of at least eight weeks. It was successfully applied for the direct determination of monohydrogenphosphate in fertilizer and, as indicator electrode, in potentiometric titration of HPO₄^2? ion with barium chloride.     

A reasonable explanation for the mechanism of photo-promoted chemoselective aerobic oxidation of alcohols using (ON)Ru(salen) complex as catalyst

The mechanism of aerobic oxidation of alcohols using (ON)Ru(salen) complex as catalyst under photo-irradiation was examined through studies of kinetics of the oxidation, kinetic isotope effect in the oxidation, and effect of the ligand structure on the chemoselectivity of the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. It was demonstrated that the aerobic oxidation includes an intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer process that is attributed to realization of efficient differentiation of primary and secondary alcohols in the oxidation.

Asymmetric catalytic epoxidation of alkenes such as styrenes, chromenes and indene using transition metal complexes both inhomogeneous and heterogeneous phase has been discussed in this review. The various strategies to make the catalysts recyclable by introducing in-built phase transfer ability, converting these to dimeric form, exchanging into clays and supporting on polymeric or inorganic supports are discussed at length.     

新型冠醚桥联手性双核Salen配合物的合成及谱学性质

Five novel chiral dinuclear Salen complexes M₂L (M = Fe³⁺Cl^-, Mn³⁺Cl^-, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺) and Ba²⁺-crown ether complex H₄BaL(ClO₄)₂ were synthesized. The complexes were synthesized by reaction between ligand 3(H₄L) and corresponding metal salts (FeCl₃, Mn(OAc)₂·4H₂O, Co(OAc)₂·4H₂O, Ni(OAc)₂·4H₂O, Cu(OAc)₂·H₂O, Ba(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O). The chiral two discrete Salen ligand 3 was condensed from 3,3′-[Oxybis(2,l-ethanediyloxy)]bis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and (R,R)-1,2-diamino-cyclohexane. The structure of complexes is two discrete Salen unit bridged with crown ether from two sides. We found that ligand 3 had three complex cites. The two N₂O₂ cavities can found complexes with d-metals (compound 4), while the O₁₀ cavity can found complex with alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals (compound 5). The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H NMR, Mass-spectra, FT-IR, UV-Vis and CD spectra. The FT-IR, UV-Vis and CD spectra property of complexes were minutely analyzed.
