The mixed ligand complexes of the type LFeACl · nH2O and LMnA · H2O where L is the mannich base obtained by hydrogenation of Schiff base ligands of salicylaldehyde and amino acids, and A is the bipyridyl or orthophenanthroline synthesised. These complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, spectral, magnetic, FAB mass spectral and electrochemical studies. These complexes have been used as catalysts for epoxidation of olefins like cyclohexene, cis-cyclooctene and norbornene using iodosylbenzene as the oxidant. In the epoxidation reactions using these complexes, it was found that Mn (II) complexes act as better catalysts compared to Fe (III) complexes. The mechanism of the progress of the oxidation reaction and termination of catalytic activity has been investigated by using spectral and electrochemical studies.
