The preparation, characterization, and immobilization of cobalt (III) salen complex on CoFe2O4@SiO2 nanoparticle (CoFe2O4@SiO2@ Co(III) salen complex) are described. Co(III) salen complex loaded on ferrite cobalt-silica nanoparticle is characterized by TEM, SEM-EDX, VSM and FT-IR analyses. The efficiency of CoFe2O...

In this study, Co (III) salen complex was synthesized and immobilized onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticle. The heterogeneous nanocatalyst was characterized by different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption−desorption isotherm (BET), ...

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...

The previously developed enantioselective iodocyclization of gamma-hydroxy-cis-alkenes required 30 mol% of (R,R)-salen-Co(II) complex as chiral catalyst and 0.75 equivalent of N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as activator to produce 2-substituted tetrahydrofurans with 61 to 90% ee. Due to the considerable loading amount of the Co(II) complex, another more effective catalyst was pursued by screening (R...

Soft landing (SL) of mass-selected ions is used to transfer catalytically-active metal complexes complete with organic ligands from the gas phase onto an inert surface. This is part of an effort to prepare materials with defined active sites and thus achieve molecular design of surfaces in a highly controlled way. Solution-phase electrochemical studies have shown that V(IV)O(salen) reacts in th...

The construction of novel (macrocyclic) multinuclear Co(III)salen catalysts is reported. Olefin metathesis has been used as a key construction tool for the multimetallic structures starting from versatile allyl-substituted salen scaffolds. The Co(III) complexes were tested in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of (rac)-1,2-epoxyhexane and epoxide ring opening reactions using methanol as the nucl...

The (salen)Co(III)-catalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of terminal epoxides is a bimetallic process with a rate controlled by partitioning between a nucleophilic (salen)Co-OH catalyst and a Lewis acidic (salen)Co-X catalyst. The commonly used (salen)Co-OAc and (salen)Co-Cl precatalysts undergo complete and irreversible counterion addition to epoxide during the course of the epoxide hy...

Oxygenation Catalyst, Cobalt Schiff-Base Complex, Crystal Structure, Electrochemistry N,N'-Bis(salicylidene)ethylenediaminatocobalt(III) hydroxide is treated with chloroform in methanol to yield the corresponding chloride in pure, crystalline form. Results of the crystal structure determination compare well with those in earlier reports of dimeric [Co(salen)Cl]2 units and incorporated CHC13 mol...
