Abstract:Oxidative catalysis
is becoming a leading trend in fighting
environmental
pollution created, inter alia, by numerous pesticides. Among them
are carbendazim (Cbz), a benzimidazole fungicide and the metabolite
of other fungicides, including thiophanate methyl (Tpm). We investigated
the oxidative degradation of Cbz and Tpm by H2O2 catalyzed by TAML activators including a bis-amide bis-sulfonamide
variant [Fe{4-NO2C6H3-1,2-(NCOCMe2
NSO2)2CHMe}(OH2)]− (1).
Studies were performed in water at pH 7.0 and 25 °C, i.e., … Show more
