- A sulfonated Schiff base dimethyltin(IV) coordination polymer: synthesis, characterization and application as a catalyst for ultrasound- or microwave-assisted Baeyer–Villiger oxidation under solvent-free conditionsPublication . Martins, Luisa; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe synthesis and crystal structure of the new dimethyltin(IV) compound [SnMe2(HL)(CH3OH)]n$(0.5nCH3OH) (1) derived from the Schiff base 2-[(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl) methylideneamino]benzenesulfonic acid (H3L) are described. Despite having six potentially donating centres (one imine nitrogen, two phenoxo and three sulfonate oxygen atoms), the monoprotonated dianionic ligand (HL2) behaves as an O,O,O-tridentate chelator. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that 1 is a 1D coordination polymer with every tin(IV) ion bound to two methyl groups, a methanol molecule, two Ophenoxo and one m-Osulfonate atom from HL2. The coordination polymer 1 was applied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones to esters orlactones, using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, under ultrasound (US) or microwave (MW) irradiation and solvent- and additive-free conditions. Overall conversions up to 76/82, 98/93, 93/89, 91/94, 83/90, 68/62 and 81/87% under US/MW irradiations were obtained with 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, cyclopentanone, 2-methylcyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, 3-methylcyclohexanone, benzophenone and acetophenone, respectively. The catalyst can be recycled up to five cycles without losing appreciable activity.
- Catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane with hydrogen peroxide and a tetracopper(II) complex in an ionic liquidPublication . Da Costa Ribeiro, Ana Paula; Martins, Luisa; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe catalytic peroxidative oxidation (with H2O2) of cyclohexane in an ionic liquid (IL) using the tetracopper(II) complex [(CuL)2(μ4-O,O′,O′′,O′′′-CDC)]2·2H2O [HL = 2-(2-pyridylmethyleneamino)benzenesulfonic acid, CDC = cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate] as a catalyst is reported. Significant improvements on the catalytic performance, in terms of product yield (up to 36%), TON (up to 529), reaction time, selectivity towards cyclohexanone and easy recycling (negligible loss in activity after three consecutive runs), are observed using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as the chosen IL instead of a molecular organic solvent including the commonly used acetonitrile. The catalytic behaviors in the IL and in different molecular solvents are discussed.
- Solvent-free microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of alcohols catalyzed by Iron(III)-TEMPO catalytic systemsPublication . Karmakar, Anirban; Martins, Luisa; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe iron(III) complexes [H(EtOH)][FeCl2(L)(2)] (1), [H(2)bipy](1/2)[FeCl2(L)(2)].DMF (2) and [FeCl2(L)(2,2'-bipy)] (3) (L = 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylate; H(2)bipy = doubly protonated 4,4'-bipyridine; 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, DMF = dimethylformamide) have been synthesized and fully characterized by IR, elemental and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, as well as by electrochemical methods. Complexes 1 and 2 have similar mononuclear structures containing different guest molecules (protonated ethanol for 1 and doubly protonated 4,4'-bipyridine for 2) in their lattices, whereas the complex 3 has one 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylate and a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. They show a high catalytic activity for the low power (10 W) solvent-free microwave assisted peroxidative oxidation of 1-phenylethanol, leading, in the presence of TEMPO, to quantitative yields of acetophenone [TOFs up to 8.1 x 10(3) h(-1), (3)] after 1 h. Moreover, the catalysts are of easy recovery and reused, at least for four consecutive cycles, maintaining 83 % of the initial activity and concomitant rather high selectivity. 3-Amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid is used to synthesize three new iron(III) complexes which act as heterogeneous catalysts for the solvent-free microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of 1-phenylethanol.
- Metal-organic frameworks with pyridyl-based isophthalic acid and their catalytic applications in microwave assisted peroxidative oxidation of alcohols and Henry reactionPublication . Karmakar, Anirban; Martins, Luisa; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoReactions of 5-{(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)amino} isophthalic acid (H(2)L1) with copper(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) were studied, and the obtained metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [{Cu(L1)(DMF)}center dot DMF center dot H2O](n) (1), [Zn(L1)(H2O)(n) (2), and [Cd(L1)](n) (3) were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. As shown by X-ray crystallography, novel hybrid organic inorganic coordination-driven assemblies were obtained which exhibit different two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) polymeric architectures. Compounds 1 and 2 have 2D structures, whereas compound 3 features a 3D network type polymer with a dimetallic core acting as a secondary building unit. These frameworks act as heterogeneous polymeric solid catalysts (the most effective one being the copper MOF 1) for solvent-free microwave assisted peroxidative oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. They also effectively catalyze the nitroaldol (Henry) reaction of different aldehydes with nitroalkanes in water. These MOF-based heterogeneous catalysts can be easily recovered and reused, at least for a few consecutive cycles, without losing activity.

Fátima C.; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe iron(III) complexes [H(EtOH)][FeCl2(L)(2)] (1), [H(2)bipy](1/2)[FeCl2(L)(2)].DMF (2) and [FeCl2(L)(2,2'-bipy)] (3) (L = 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylate; H(2)bipy = doubly protonated 4,4'-bipyridine; 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, DMF = dimethylformamide) have been synthesized and fully characterized by IR, elemental and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, as well as by electrochemical methods.

- Sulfonated Schiff base copper(II) complexes as efficient and selective catalysts in alcohol oxidation: syntheses and crystal structuresPublication . HAZRA, SUSANTA; Martins, Luisa; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe reaction between 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde produces the acyclic Schiff base 2-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) methylideneamino] benzenesulfonic acid (H2L center dot 3H(2)O) (1). In situ reactions of this compound with Cu(II) salts and, eventually, in the presence of pyridine (py) or 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) lead to the formation of the mononuclear complexes [CuL(H2O)(2)] (2) and [CuL(2,2'-bipy)]center dot DMF center dot H2O (3) and the diphenoxo-bridged dicopper compounds [CuL(py)](2) (4) and [CuL(EtOH)](2)center dot 2H(2)O (5). In 2-5 the L-2-ligand acts as a tridentate chelating species by means of one of the O-sulfonate atoms, the O-phenoxo and the N-atoms. The remaining coordination sites are then occupied by H2O (in 2), 2,2'-bipyridine (in 3), pyridine (in 4) or EtOH (in 5). Hydrogen bond interactions resulted in R-2(2) (14) and in R-4(4)(12) graph sets leading to dimeric species (in 2 and 3, respectively), 1D chain associations (in 2 and 5) or a 2D network (1). Complexes 2-5 are applied as selective catalysts for the homogeneous peroxidative (with tert-butylhydroperoxide, TBHP) oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, under solvent-and additive-free conditions and under low power microwave (MW) irradiation. A quantitative yield of acetophenone was obtained by oxidation of 1-phenylethanol with compound 4 [TOFs up to 7.6 x 10(3) h(-1)] after 20 min of MW irradiation, whereas the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde is less effective (TOF 992 h(-1)). The selectivity of 4 to oxidize the alcohol relative to the ene function is demonstrated when using cinnamyl alcohol as substrate.
- Sulfonated schiff base dimeric and polymeric copper(II) complexes: temperature dependent synthesis, crystal structure and catalytic alcohol oxidation studiesPublication . Martins, Luisa; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoTemperature dependent synthesis and crystal structure of the dicopper(II) complex [Cu2(L-jONO0 )2(l- 4,40 -bipy)(DMF)2] (1) and the dicopper(II) based coordination polymer [Cu2(l-L-1jONO0 :2jO)2(l-4, 40 -bipy)]nnH2OnDMF (2) derived from the acyclic Schiff base 2-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylideneamino]benzenesulfonic acid (H2L) are described. Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in monoclinic P21/n and P21/c systems, respectively. Crystal structure analysis reveals that the coordination polymer 2 consists of a dimeric building block which is comparable to the basic structure of 1. The compounds are isolated from the same reaction mixture but at different reaction temperatures and 1 can be converted into the coordination polymer 2. They were tested as catalysts for (both primary and secondary) alcohols oxidation. They show good catalytic activity for the solvent- and additive-free microwave (MW) assisted peroxidative (with tert-butylhydroperoxide) oxidation of cyclohexanol (up to 85% yield of cyclohexanone) after 30 min of low power MW irradiation. 2
