文摘

The condensation reaction of 1,2-bis(2′-aminophenoxy)benzene with 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde in a mole ratio of 1:2 gives a new Schiff base ligand (L). Four Schiff base complexes, CoL(NO₃)₂ (1), NiLCl₂ (2), ZnL(NO₃)₂ (3) and Pd₂LCl₄ (4) have been prepared by direct reaction of the ligand (L) and appropriate metal salts. The Schiff base ligand (L) has been characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Also, all complexes have been characterized by IR and XRD spectroscopy techniques and elemental analysis. The synthesized complexes have very poor solubility in all polar and non-polar solvents such as: H₂O, MeOH, EtOH, CH₃CN, DMSO, DMF, CHCl₃, CH₂Cl₂, THF, etc; therefore, they have been used as heterogeneous catalysts. Catalytic performance of the complexes was studied in oxidation of thioanisole using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as the oxidant. Various factors including the reaction temperature, amount of oxidant and catalyst amount were optimized. The palladium Schiff base complex, Pd₂LCl₄ (4), shows better catalytic activity than other complexes. Therefore, the Pd(II) Schiff base complex has been used as a catalyst for oxidation of different sulfides to their corresponding sulfones in acetonitrile with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. The palladium Schiff base complex, Pd₂LCl₄ (4), has shown a very good recyclability, up to five times, without any appreciable decreases in catalytic activity and selectivity.
