Oxidovanadium(V) and Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) Complexes of N'-(3,5-Dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-fluorobenzohydrazide: Synthesis, Characterization, Crystal Structures and Catalytic Property

Acta Chim Slov. 2020 Mar;67(1):130-136.

Abstract

N'-(3,5-Dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-fluorobenzohydrazide (H2L) was used to prepare oxidovanadium(V) complex [VOL(OEt)(MeOH)] (1) and dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complex [MoO2L(OH2)]·[MoO2L(EtOH)] (2). The complexes were characterized by IR, UV-Vis, NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray analysis indicates that the complexes are mononuclear species with the metal atoms in octahedral coordination. The complexes were studied for catalytic oxidation property on some olefins with tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant.
