Design of a New Poly Imidazolium-Tagged Cobalt (II) Schiff Base Complex for Selective Oxidation of Alcohols and Sulfides in a Water Solvent

چکیده مقاله

In this study, a new catalyst including polymeric imidazolium ionic liquid functionalized Cobalt (II) Schiff base complex [PIL-SB-Co (II)] was prepared and characterized using various analyses like FT-IR, H-NMR, FE-SEM, Energy-dispersive X-ray, thermogravimetric analysis, and ICP-OES. Then, its catalytic activity was studied in oxidation reaction of sulfides and alcohols. This polymeric heterogeneous catalyst can catalyze the oxidation reactions in water as a green solvent, and mild conditions (room temperature) with good to excellent yields of sulfoxides, aldehydes, and ketones as worthwhile and critical products.
