Synthetic routes to a series of new (salen-1)CoX (salen-1 = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-diaminoalkane; X = halide or carboxylate) species are described and the X-ray crystal structures of two (salen-1)CoX (salen- = N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane; X = Cl, I) complexes are presented. (R,R)-(salen-)CoX (X = Cl, Br, I, OAc, pentafluorobenzoate (OBzF(5))) catalysts are...

We analyzed the apoptosis and anti-tumour activities of several Mn(III)-salen and -salphen complexes (1-14) towards three different cultured human cancer and non-cancer cells. We demonstrated that most of the Mn(III)-salen and -salphen complexes affect cell viability and induce apoptosis in MCF7 cells. Biochemically active Mn(III)-salen and -salphen complexes induced nuclear fragmentation and r...

The design of nanostructured catalysts based on earth-abundant metals that mediate important reactions efficiently, selectively and with a broad scope is highly desirable. Unfortunately, the synthesis such poorly understood. We report here active Ni for reductive amination ketones by ammonia employing hydrogen as reducing agent. key functions Ni-salen precursor complex during catalyst have been...

The first immobilization of a pyrene-tagged chromium salen complex through π-π noncovalent interactions on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is described. A very robust supported catalytic system obtained to promote asymmetric catalysis in repeated cycles, without loss activity or enantioselectivity. This specific behavior was demonstrated two different reactions (up ten reuses) promoted by complexe...

We have successfully prepared an unsymmetrical analogue of a Katsuki-type salen ligand having a single hydroxyalkyl group at its 6-position, and also its Mn(III) complex; attachment of the complex to a polymer gives a highly enantioselective and recoverable catalyst for epoxidation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene.

Abstract In this paper, Salen‐Ni basis polyphosphazene microsphere (Salen‐PZN‐Ni), boric acid (BA), and 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH‐550) were used as raw materials to prepare a new flame retardant Salen‐PZN‐Ni@BA@KH‐550 by surface modification. The thermal properties of epoxy resin (EP) composites studied. introduction refined the stability EP composites, well amount carbon residue at 800°...

A new dealkylation reaction between organophosphate esters and Salen aluminum bromide compounds has been used to prepare three new aluminum salen compounds salen((t)Bu)AlOP(O)Ph2 (1) (salen = N,N'-ethylenebis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylideneimine)), [(MeOH)Alsalen((t)Bu)[OMePO2(O)]Alsalen((t)Bu)[OMePO2(O)]Alsalen((t)Bu)]Br (2), and [salpen((t)Bu)AlO]2[(BuO)2PO]2 (3) (salpen = N,N'-propylenebis(3,5...

A series of salen-type zirconium complexes of the general formula LZrCl2 (L = N,N 0-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminate), 3a; N, N 0-ethylenebis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylideneiminate), 3b; N,N 0-ethylenebis(5-methoxysalicylideneiminate), 3c; N,N 0-ethylenebis(5chlorosalicylideneiminate), 3d; N,N 0-ethylenebis(5-nitrosalicylideneiminate), 3e; N,N 0-o-phenylenebis(salicylideneiminate), 4a; N,N 0-o-phe...

Schiff bases and their metal complexes in the mixtures of ionic liquid (IL) + organic solvent have shown great potential in attractive oxidation catalytic processes. The efficiency of such a process is strongly dependent on the various molecular interactions occurring between components. Thermodynamic properties of these systems can provide valuable information about structural interactions. Th...
