| Abstract: | Three mixed-ligand CuII complexes bearing iminodiacetato (ida) and N-heterocyclic ligands, namely, [Cu2(ida)2(bbbm)(H2O)2] · H2O (1), [Cu2(ida)2(btx)(H2O)2] · 2H2O (2) and [Cu2(ida)2(pbbm)(H2O)2] · H2O · 3CH3OH (3) (bbbm = 1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis-1H-benzimidazole, btx = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, pbbm = 1,1′-(1,3-propanediyl)bis-1H-benzimidazole), in addition to three fcz-based CuII complexes, namely, {[Cu(fcz)2(H2O)2] · 2NO3}n (4), {[Cu(fcz)2(H2O)] · SO4 · DMF · 2CH3OH · 2H2O}n (5) and {[Cu(fcz)2Cl2] · 2CH3OH}n (6) (fcz = 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-bis[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl) methyl]ethanol) have been prepared according to appropriate synthetic strategies with the aim of exploiting new and potent catalysts. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1 and 2 possess similar binuclear structures, 3 features a 2D pleated network, and 4 exhibits a 1D polymeric double-chain structure. Complexes 1-6 are tested as catalysts in the green catalysis process of the oxidative coupling of 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP). Under the optimized reaction conditions, these complexes are catalytically active by showing high conversion of DMP and high selectivity of PPE. The preliminary study of the catalytic-structural correlations suggests that the coordination environment of the copper center have important influences on their catalytic activities. |
