Abstract: | The catalytic epoxidation of styrene using urea-hydrogen peroxide and heterotrinuclear Cu(II) complexes with general formula
(ML
n
)2Cu(acac)2, where n = 1–3 and M = VO2+ or Mn2+ is reported. Schiff base complexes ML
n
involving a 3,4-diaminopyridine bridge with free coordination site were used as the ligand, where (Ln)2− is (5-x-Sal)2Py]2 and x = H, Br or NO2. The complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The electrochemical properties of M were
modified upon trinuclear complex formation. The trinuclear complexes show high catalytic activity, with up to 86% conversion
and 93% selectivity, while no catalytic properties were observed for the monomeric complexes. The catalyst could be reused
with some loss of activity. |
