A family of manganese complexes [Mn(Rpeb)(OTf)2] (peb=1-(1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-N-((1-((1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl) pyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl)-N-methylmethanamine)) derived from L-proline has been synthesized and characterized, where R refers to the group at the diamine backbone. X-ray crystallographic analyses indicate that all the manganese complexes [Mn(Rpeb)(OTf)2] exhibit cis-α topology. These types of complexes are shown to catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins employing H2O2 as a terminal oxidant with up to 96% ee. Obviously, the R group of the diamine backbone can influence the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. In particular, Mn(i-Prpeb)(OTf)2 bearing an isopropyl arm, cannot catalyze the epoxidation reaction with H2O2 as the oxidant. However, when PhI(OAc)2 is used as the oxidant instead, all the manganese complexes including Mn(i-Prpeb)(OTf)2 can promote the epoxidation reactions efficiently. Taken together, these results indicate that isopropyl substitution on the Rpeb ligand inhibits the formation of active Mn(V)-oxo species in the H2O2/carboxylic acid system via an acid-assisted pathway.

The oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactivity of the non-heme [FeIV(2PyN2Q)(O)]2+ (2) containing the sterically bulky quinoline-pyridine pentadentate ligand (2PyN2Q) has been thoroughly studied with different olefins. The ferryl-oxo complex 2 shows excellent OAT reactivity during epoxidations. The steric encumbrance and electronic effect of the ligand influence the mechanistic shuttle between OAT pathway I and isomerization pathway II (during the reaction stereo pure olefins), resulting in a mixture of cis-trans epoxide products. In contrast, the sterically less hindered and electronically different [FeIV(N4Py)(O)]2+ (1) provides only cis-stilbene epoxide. A Hammett study suggests the role of dominant inductive electronic along with minor resonance effect during electron transfer from olefin to 2 in the rate-limiting step. Additionally, a computational study supports the involvement of stepwise pathways during olefin epoxidation. The ferryl bend due to the bulkier ligand incorporation leads to destabilization of both (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) orbitals, leading to a very small quintet–triplet gap and enhanced reactivity for 2 compared to 1. Thus, the present study unveils the role of steric and electronic effects of the ligand towards mechanistic modification during olefin epoxidation.

Unprecedented enantioselective resolution copolymerization of racemic cis-internal epoxides and anhydrides was mediated by dinuclear aluminum complexes with multiple chirality, affording optically active polyesters with two contiguous stereogenic centers, and the unreacted substrates in good enantioselectivity. Unexpected stereoconvergence is observed in this resolution copolymerization, where the selectivity factor for the enantioselective formation of copolymer significantly exceeds the kinetic resolution coefficient based on the unreacted epoxide at various conversions. Catalytic activity and copolymer enantioselectivity are strongly influenced by the phenolate ortho-substituents of the ligand set, as well as the axial linker and its chirality. An enantiopure binaphthol-linked bimetallic AlIII complex allows stereoconvergent access to the stereoregular semi-crystalline polyesters and a concomitant kinetic resolution of the epoxide substrates.

The cobalt bis(dicarbollide) complex, Na[3,3′-Co(η5-1,2-C2B9H11) (Na[1]), is an effective photoredox catalyst for the oxidation of alkenes to epoxides in water. Advantageous features of Na[1] include its lack of photoluminescence, high solubility and surfactant behavior in aqueous media, as well as the donor ability of the carborane ligand and high oxidizing power of the Co4+/3+ couple. These features differentiate it from the well-known and widely used photosensitizer tris (2,2′-bipyridine) ruthenium(ii) ([Ru(bpy)3]2+), which also participates in electron transfer through an outer sphere mechanism. A comparison of the catalytic performance of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ with Na[1] for alkene photo-oxidation is fully in favor of Na[1], as the former shows very low or null efficiency. With a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol% conversions between 65-97% have been obtained in short reaction times, 15 minutes, with moderate selectivity for the corresponding epoxide, due to the formation of side products as diols. But when the catalyst loading is reduced to 0.01 mol%, the selectivity for the corresponding epoxide increased considerably, being the only compound formed after 15 minutes of reaction (selectivity >99%). High TON values have been obtained (TON = 8500) for the epoxidation of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes in water. We have verified that Na[3,3′-Co(η5-1,2-C2B9H11)2] acts as a photocatalyst in both the epoxidation of alkenes and in their hydroxylation in aqueous medium with a higher rate for epoxidation than for hydroxylation. Preliminary photooxidation tests using methyl oleate as the substrate led to the selective epoxidation of the double bond. These results represent a promising starting point for the development of practical methods for the processing of unsaturated fatty acids, such as the valorisation of animal fat waste using this sustainable photoredox catalyst.

The invention belongs to the technical field of metal catalytic synthesis, and discloses a method for isomerizing and converting (Z)-olefins into (E)-olefins. The (E)-olefins are prepared through a reaction at -30-80 DEG C for 0.5-48 h by using a combination of CoX2 and a PNP or PAO ligand as a catalyst in the presence of an activating reagent; and a molar ratio of the (Z)-olefins to the CoX2 to the PNP or PAO ligand to the activating reagent is 1:(0.00001-0.10):(0.00001-0.10):(0.00003-0.30). The catalyst used in the invention is the combination of the cheap metal cobalt salt and the simple and easily available ligand, no other toxic transition metal (such as ruthenium, rhodium and palladium) salt is added in the reaction, and the method also has the advantages of cheap and easily available raw material, good functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, simplicity in operation, and e atom economy of 100%.

A novel type of hybrid catalytic materials [MnII-L?BC] has been developed using biochar (BC) as support material for covalent grafting of a MnII Schiff-base catalyst (MnII-L). The hybrid [MnII-L?BC] materials have been evaluated for an important catalytic process, epoxidation of olefins using H2O2 as oxidant. A number of different substrates were used, with cyclohexene achieving the highest yields. When compared to the non-grafted, homogeneous MnII-L, the hybrid catalysts [MnII-L?BC] show a significant enhancement of the catalytic efficiency i.e. as documented by the increase of Turnover Numbers (TONs) (826 for [MnII-L-SS550ox] and 822 for [MnII-L-SW550ox]) and Turnover Frequencies (TOFs) (551 h?1 for [MnII-L-SS550ox] and 411 h?1 for [MnII-L-SW550ox]). The interfacial catalytic mechanism and the role of the BC support have been analyzed by Raman and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopies. Based on these data we discuss a mechanism where the high efficiency of the hybrid materials involves the biochar carbon layers acting as promoters of the substrate and products kinetics. To a broader context, this work exemplifies that biochar-based hybrid materials are potent for oxidative catalysis technologies.

Different synthetic routes have been developed to obtain the aqua complex trans-[RuII(trpy)(pypz-H)(OH2)](PF6)2, Ru6. This complex, together with the chlorido intermediate complexes cis- and trans-[RuIICl(pypz-H)(trpy)]+, Ru5a and Ru5b, have been fully characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical methods. Furthermore, the trans-Ru5b complex has been characterized in the solid state through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The aqua complex Ru6 was tested as catalyst in the photooxidation of alcohols in water and in the chemical oxidation of alkenes, displaying a good performance with high selectivity values in both catalytic processes.

In the last decade, manganese(II) complexes with N-donor tetradentate aminopyridine ligands emerged as efficient catalysts of enantioselective epoxidation of olefins and direct selective oxidation of C?H groups in complex organic molecules, with environmentally benign oxidant hydrogen peroxide. In this personal account, we summarize the progress of these catalysts with regard to ligands design, structure-reactivity correlations, evaluation of the substrate scope, as well as mechanistic studies, shedding light on the nature of active sites and the mechanisms of selective oxygenations. Several practically promising catalytic syntheses with the aid of Mn aminopyridine catalysts are exemplified.

An iron complex with a chiral aminopyridine N4 ligand bearing strong electron-donating and bulky morpholine groups on the ligand is synthesized and characterized. The iron complex serves to efficiently catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of various olefins by employing aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the green oxidant, providing the corresponding epoxides in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 93 % yield and 99.9 % ee). Owing to the introduction of morpholine functional groups on the ligand, the Fe-catalyzed reaction can proceed with a catalytic amount of the carboxylic acid partner (3 mol %).
