| Abstract: | Two new heterobimetallic complexes of the composition [(VO2)2(μ3-slsch){Na2(μ-H2O)2(H2O)2}]n (1) and [(VO2)2(μ3-npsch){Na2(μ-H2O)2(H2O)2}(DMF)]n (2) were obtained by reaction of the ligand and vanadium pentoxide in a 1:1 molar ratio in methanol in the presence of Na2CO3 (2 equivalents). The complexes obtained were characterized using various spectroscopic studies. The structures of both the complexes were established by single crystal X-ray crystallographic study. We have also explored the catalytic behavior of the complexes in oxidative bromination of phenol red, which is the bio-inspired reaction catalyzed by an enzyme haloperoxidase. |
