Macrocyclic complex catalyst Fe-FeL1 complex of L1 (L1 = C24H26O2N4.) was synthesized and studied in the hydrogenolysis reaction of glycerol reaction in a high pressure batch reactor. The catalyst was well characterized i.e. FTIR, XRD, TGA and BET surface area. The study of hydrogenolysis was found that the selectivity of 1,2-propane diol 80 % at 220°C temperature and 0.35 MPa pressure in presence of hydrogen gas and Fe-Fe/Al2O3 and 30 % glycerol concentration in water gives 1,2-propane diol as the only product and conversion was 36 % at 220°C. It is further seen that if the concentration of glycerol in water is increased beyond 40 % there is a decrease in the total conversion and carbon is produced as coke during the reaction.

A series of binuclear complexes MAIIMBIIL2+ have been synthesized and characterized.The binuleating macrocyclic ligand L2+ is a symmetric Schiff base derived by condensing 2 equiv. of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol with 2 equiv of 1,3-diaminopropane, resulting in two identical N2O2 coordination sites.In all cases, MA(II) = Cu(II) while MB was varied across the series MB(II) = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II).The electrochemical properties of these species were examined by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse polarography, sampled DC polarography, and coulometry.In each case reversible to quasi-reversible Cu(II)C(I) electrochemistry was observed.The Cu(II)Cu(I) reduction potential was, within experimental error, invariant with respect to the remote metal MB; Ef(Cu(II)Cu(I)) = -1.068 V vs. ferrocene/ferrocinium(1+).The one exception is the homonuclear complex MA(II) = MB(II) = Cu(II); the homobinuclear complex was more readily reduced, Ef = -0.925 V vs.Fc/Fc+, than the heteronuclear species.After a correction due to magnetic stabilization the difference between the heteronuclear and homonuclear reduction potantials, 143 mV = 3.3 kcal/mol, has been ascribed to a special stability associated with the mixed-valent CuIICuIL+ species, where some electronic delocalization has been previously demonstrated.In addition, the electrochemical properties of homonuclear complexes (MA = MB) are reported.The ligand-binding properties of the species CuIMBIIL+, MB(II) = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), have been examined.Cu(I) shows an affinity for the axial bases carbon monoxide, ethylene, tris(o-methoxyphenyl)phosphine, and 4-ethylpyridine.In contrast to the Cu(II)/Cu(I) reduction potentials, the binding of axial bases to Cu(I) does seem to depend on the nature of the remote metal, Mb.
