چکیده
|
The reaction of Fe(acac)3 and 2-(20-hydroxyphenyl)
oxazoline (Hphox) as a bidentate O,N donor
ligand afforded a six-coordinated iron(III) complex
[Fe(phox)2(acac)] with distorted octahedral configuration.
The complex was isolated as an air-stable crystalline solid
and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, solution
electrical conductivity, and by single-crystal X-ray structure
analysis. The structure, electronic properties, and
vibrational normal modes of the complex were investigated
by DFT. The use of this complex as a catalyst for the
oxidation of sulfides to their corresponding sulfoxides
using urea hydrogen peroxide as the primary oxidant was
investigated. The catalyst shows very efficient reactivity,
giving high yields and selectivities at room temperature
under air.
