Synthesis and characterization of copper(ii) complexes: their catalytic behavior towards alcohol oxidation using NaOCl as the oxidant

Abstract

Two mononuclear complexes, [Cu(L1)2] (Complex 1) and [Cu(HL2)2](NO3)2 (Complex 2)where HL1 is1-((cyclohexylmethylimino)methyl)-naphthalen-2-ol and HL2 is 4-bromo-2-((2-morpholinoethylimino)methyl)phenol, have been synthesized under mild conditions and characterized by different standard analytical methods.
