- Microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of toluene and 1-phenylethanol with monomeric keto and polymeric enol aroylhydrazone Cu(II) complexesPublication . Sutradhar, Manas; Alegria, Elisabete; Roy Barman, Tannistha; Scorcelletti, Francesco; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Fatima, C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoCu(II) complexes in two different tautomeric forms (keto and enol) derived from the aroylhydrazone Schiff base 2-hydroxy(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide (H2L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray crystallography. While the compound with the enol form of the ligand exists as the 1D polymer [Cu(kappa KNOO',2 kappa O',3 kappa O"-L)](n) (1), that with the keto form of the ligand occurs as the monomer [Cu(KNOO'-HL)CI(CH3OH)] (2). Both complexes act as good catalysts for the microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of toluene and 1-phenylethanol with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Complex 2 exhibits the highest activity in both reactions, leading selectively to,a maximum product yield of 39 and 92%, respectively.
- Catalytic oxidation of a model volatile organic compound (toluene) with tetranuclear Cu(II) complexesPublication . Sutradhar, Manas; Alegria, Elisabete; Roy Barman, Tannistha; Lapa, Hugo; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoA tetranuclear Cu(II) cubane [Cu-2(mu-1 kappa ONO':2 kappa OO':3 kappa O-HL)(mu-1 kappa ONO':2 kappa OO'-HL)](2).4dmf (1) derived form (2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (H3L) was synthesized at room temperature and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The known tetranuclear Cu(II) open-cubane [Cu(HL)](4).4EtOH (2) was synthesized from the same pro-ligand following a similar method or the reported one. The different tautomeric forms (keto and enol) of the organic ligands in 1 and 2 explain their different structural features. Both complexes were screened as catalysts for the peroxidative oxidation of toluene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, achieving benzaldehyde and o-cresol as the main products. Complex 1 exhibits the highest activity (maximum product yield of 11%).
- 1D Copper(II)-aroylhydrazone coordination polymers: magnetic properties and microwave assisted oxidation of a secondary alcoholPublication . Sutradhar, Manas; Alegria, Elisabete; Roy Barman, Tannistha; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Liu, Cai-Ming; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe 1D Cu(II) coordination polymers [Cu-3(L-1)(NO3)(4)(H2O)(2)](n) (1) and [Cu-2(H2L2)(NO3)(H2O)(2)](n)(NO3)(n) (2) have been synthesized using the aroylhyrazone Schiff bases N'(1),N'(2)-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)oxalohydrazide (H2L1) and N'(1),N'(3)-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)malonohydrazide (H4L2), respectively. They have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), single crystal X-ray diffraction and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (for 2). The ligand (L-1)(2-) coordinates in the iminol form in 1, whereas the amide coordination is observed for (H2L2)(2-) in 2. Either the ligand bridge or the nitrate bridge in 2 mediates weak antiferromagnetic coupling. The catalytic performance of 1 and 2 has been investigated toward the solvent-free microwave-assisted oxidation of a secondary alcohol (1-phenylethanol used as model substrate). At 120 degrees C and in the presence of the nitroxyl radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperydil-1-oxyl (TEMPO), the complete conversion of 1-phenylethanol into acetophenone occurs with TOFs up to 1,200 h(-1).
