Catalytic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol using Nanosized Ni/Cu  Schiff-Base Complexes and their Metal Oxides Nanoparticles
Three novel nanosized Cu and Ni Schiff-base complexes (ahpvCu, ahpnbCu, and ahpvNi) incorporating imine ligands derived from the condensation of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine with either 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde or 4-nitrobenzaldehyde were synthesized by a sonochemical approach. The structure of the ligands and their complexes was confirmed by IR, NMR spectroscopy, electronic spectra, elemental analysis, TGA, molar conductivity, and magnetic moment analyses. The results revealed ... Read more
