The catalytic activity of silica supported Schiff base metal complexes have been studied for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, using hydrogen peroxide, which gave benzaldehyde as a major product. Silica supported Schiff base complexes gave better results compared to unsupported Schiff base complexes. Schiff base metal complexes such as Cr(VI), Mo(VI) and W(VI) have played significant role to enhance their conversion and selectivity. Among these Cr(VI) showed better conversion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
