Transition metal complexes with heterocyclic ligands in catalysis

Abstract

In this present work, focus has been given to the synthesis and detailed study of “Transition metal complexes with heterocyclic ligands in catalysis”. Importance of catalytic activity of metal azolate complexes in oxidation of organic compound has been explored. Here in, the study is intended to explore complex formation of Cu(II) to form metal azolate framework. There are various types of metal azolate transition metal complexes with framework structures which have been studied. However, reports on mixed ligand metal azolate framework are rare so far. The main objective of the current work is to study the catalytic behavior of Metal Azolate Frameworks (MAFs) for oxidation of various organic compounds. In this present work, the concept of formation of mixed ligand metal azolate complexes with Cu(II) metal using [2 + 3] cycloaddition reaction has been explored. Further, this present work also comprises future plans where it is indicated that the synthesized complexes can be utilized as catalysts for oxidation of organic compounds and the mechanistic pathway can be explored in details. This tetrazole imidazole complex can be also explored for sensing purpose of different chemical entities.
