We present the effective synthesis and structural characterization of three novel imidazolium-thiohydantoin ligands (IMTHs, 5a–c) and their Mn(iii) complexes (Mn(iii)IMTHs, 6a–c) in this study.
A new chelating task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL), lutidinium-based salicylaldoxime (LSOH), and its square pyramidal vanadyl(II) complex (VO(LSO) 2 ) have been successfully synthesized and structurally characterized using elemental (CHN), spectral, and thermal analyses. The catalytic activity of the lutidinium-salicylaldoxime complex (VO(LSO) 2 ) in the alkene epoxidation reactions was studied under various reaction conditions, such as solvent effect, alkene/oxidant molar ratio, pH, reaction temperature, reaction time, and the catalyst dose. The results demonstrated that the CHCl 3 solvent, 1 : 3 of the cyclohexene/H 2 O 2 ratio, pH 8, temperature of 340 K, and catalyst dose of 0.012 mmol are assigned as the optimum conditions for achieving maximum catalytic activity for VO(LSO) 2 . Moreover, the VO(LSO) 2 complex has the potential for application in the effective and selective epoxidation of alkenes. Notably, under optimal VO(LSO) 2 conditions, cyclic alkenes convert more efficiently to their corresponding epoxides than linear alkenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
