This research aims to develop and characterize a new type of high valent metal oxidant using terminal cyanate ligands.
Synthesize high valent complex [(L)Cu III (NCO)] from [(L)Cu II (NCO)] via one electron oxidation.
Characterize the complexes using X-ray crystallography and various spectroscopic techniques like UV–vis, NMR, and FT-IR.
Conduct kinetic studies and product analysis to evaluate reactivity with C─H and O─H bonds.
The new oxidant demonstrated effective reactivity in activating C─H and O─H bonds via hydrogen atom transfer.
Direct C─N bond formation was achieved, showcasing its unique reactivity.
Reactivity was found to be dependent on solvent conditions, indicating the versatility of the cyanate ligand.
