Synthesis of three polymer-anchored imine ligands (PS-L1—PS-L3) from chloromethyl polystyrene and imine compounds (H2L1—H2L3)
Preparation and characterization of Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ complexes of the ligands using spectroscopic techniques
Conducted oxidation studies on cyclohexane and cyclooctane using microwave methods.
The complexes demonstrated up to 90% catalytic conversion rate in alkane oxidation and alkene epoxidation studies, although selectivity was lower.
All synthesized ligands and their complexes exhibited high thermal stability.

Abstract

In the current study, three new polymer- attached imine ligands (PS-L1—PS-L3) were synthesized from the reaction of chloromethyl polystyrene and the imine compounds (H2L1—H2L3). The Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes of the polymer- attached ligands were prepared and characterised by the spectroscopic procedures. The redox and photophysical behaviours of the free imine ligands were investigated in solutions. Polymer supported ligands (PS-L1—PS-L3) and their Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes show good high thermal stabilities. Alkane-oxidation and alkene-epoxidation studies of solid supported metal complexes were carried out by microwave method. In the oxidation studies of the cyclohexane (CYH) and cyclooctane (C8H16) (CYON), the complexes showed good catalytic conversion rate (up to 90%) but with lower selectivity
