The new [Co(Salen)(PBu3)2]ClO4, [Co(Salen)(PBu3)2]BF4, [Co(Salpn)(PBu3)2]ClO4 and [Co(Salen)(PMe2Ph)2]ClO4 ( where salen = bis(salisylaldehyde)ethylenediimine)) complexes were synthesiszed and chracterized by IR, UV-Vis, 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The IR and 1H NMR spectra cofirmed that the synthesised complexes contain Schiff base ligand, phosphane and conter ion and the eleme...

A thorough study of structural and magnetic properties was performed on a series of trinuclear and dinuclear Mn(III)/Fe(III) complexes consisting of [M(L4)(Solv)](+) and [Fe(CN)5(NO)](2-) moieties (M = Fe(III) or Mn(III), Solv = H2O or CH3OH, L4 = tetradentate salen-type ligands), in which dominant magnetic exchange is mediated by O(S)-H···O(Ph) hydrogen bonds in [M(L4)(Solv)](+)···[M(L4)(Solv)...

We have successfully prepared an unsymmetrical analogue of a Katsuki-type salen ligand having a hydroxyalkyl group at the 6-position of just one of the binaphthyl units in the ligand, and also several Mn(III) complexes; these complexes have been attached to a polymer by an ester link and such polymer catalysts have been shown to be highly enantioselective and recoverable catalysts for the epoxi...

Hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods were employed to study electronic effects of 5,5'-substituents on the enantioselectivity of (salen)Mn catalysts. Correlations obtained from the QM/MM calculations elucidated electronic framework effects on enantioselectivity for (salen)Mn heterogenized in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The correlations also enabled fast ligand scree...

The C(2)-symmetrical "salen" ligand (+)-9 bearing two [5]ferrocenophane substituents has been prepared in five steps starting from readily available diacetylferrocene, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and (R,R)-N,N'-diphenylethylenediamine. Reaction of (+)-9 with Mn(OAc)(3), Co(OAc)(2) ZnEt(2) or UO(2)(OAc)(2) gave the corresponding metal-complexes which were characterised by spectroscopic methods.

A novel dynamic covalent gel strategy is reported to immobilize an asymmetric catalyst within the channels of a microfluidic flow reactor. A layer of a catalytically active Mn–salen dynamic covalent imine gel matrix was coated onto a functionalized capillary. Mn–salen active moiety was incorporated into dynamic covalent imine gel matrix via the reaction of a chiral Mn–salen dialdehyde unit with...

mn(ii) salen complex immobilized on nano silicagel was prepared by incorporating mn(ii) salen complex into a nanosilica matrix and characterized by tga, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy and was successfully applied as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols. oxidation of a series of alcohols in acetonitrile over immobilized mn(ii) salen complex using tetrabutylammonium peroxymonosulfate (tbao...

Dimanganese(III) complexes of salen-type ligands anchored by 9,9-dimethylxanthene-4,5-diyl spacers were synthesized. Two types of structures, cyclic and acyclic forms, are presented. The 2 + 2 Schiff-base condensation of 5,5'-(9,9-dimethylxanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(salicylaldehyde) and 1,2-diaminobenzene gave a macrocyclic ligand, from which a cyclic dimanganese(III) complex was synthesized. A simil...
