Hydrocarbon Oxidation with H2O2, Catalyzed by Iron Complexes with a Polydentate Pyridine-Based Ligand
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the structural and functional features of two new catalysts: a mononuclear [Fe(N5mpy)(CH3CN)] (BF4)2 (N5mpy = (N,N 0E,N,N0E)-N,N0-(pyridine-2,6-diylbis (ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene))bis(1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanamine)) complex and a binuclear {[Fe(N5mpy)]2O}(BF4)4 complex. Both compounds catalyze the oxidation of alkanes by H2O2, in MeCN or acetone to yield alcohols and ketones. Moderate to good yields are obtained with various cyclic and benzylic alkanes. Screening of several substrates revealed that higher yields are obtained for the oxidation of alkanes with low C–H bond dissociation energies. The ratio alcohol/ketone observed suggests the involvement of ironbased oxidizing species.

متن کاملControlled ligand distortion and its consequences for structure, symmetry, conformation and spin-state preferences of iron(II) complexes.
The ligand-field strength in metal complexes of polydentate ligands depends critically on how the ligand backbone places the donor atoms in three-dimensional space. Distortions from regular coordination geometries are often observed. In this work, we study the isolated effect of ligand-sphere distortion by means of two structurally related pentadentate ligands of identical donor set, in the sol...
