“…Schiff base transition metal complexes as catalysts have been widely used because of their potential use in numerous reactions, 6,7 such as hydrogenation of organic substrates, 8 epoxidation of olefins, 9 conversion of epoxides into halohydrines, 10,11 asymmetric ring opening of terminal epoxides 12 and oxidation reactions. 13–15 In recent years some publications have been reported sulfides-oxidation using phthalazine-based di-iron complexes, 16 β-brominated meso -tetraphenylporphyrinato manganese( iii ) acetate, 17 copper Schiff base complex, 18 immobilized metalloporphyrins, 19 TsOH by phenyliodine diacetate as an oxidant, 20 dendritic bis(acylamino) pyridines, 21 Schiff base of Mn( iii ) complex supported on magnetic cobalt nanoparticles, 22 Schiff base complexes of Ni, Co, Cr, Cd and Zn supported on Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles, 23 magnetic nanoparticle immobilized N -propylsulfamic acid, 24 Au/CTN–silica catalyst, 25 cobalt( ii ), copper( ii ), zinc( ii ) and palladium( ii ) Schiff base complexes, 26 1,4-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl) butane ditribromide, 27 carboxylated multi-walled carbon nano tubes, 28 1,4-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl) butane ditribromide [bMImB](Br 3 ) 2 ionic liquid reagent 29 and Mo( vi ) complex supported on Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. 30 In this study, new heterogeneous nanocatalysts were synthesized by chemical modification of surface magnetic nanoparticles of Co with Schiff-base ligands, followed by complex formation through the reaction with Co( ii ) and Mn( iii ) salts.…”
