Abstract

Both monomeric Schiff base complexes and 1D helical polymeric complexes of Cu(II) and Ni(II) were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. X-ray single-crystal studies were made on [K2(CuL)2Ni(CN)4]n·0.5nEt2O and [K2(NiL)2Ni(CN)4]n·0.5nEt2O. The polymers were screened as heterogeneous catalysts for styrene epoxidation. For comparison, the catalytic properties of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts were also examined under identical reaction conditions, and the influence of various solvents and oxidants was studied. The polymeric catalysts showed better activities in chloroform when using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant, suggesting that heterogenization increased the activity of the catalyst under this condition.
