Synthesis, crystal structure and catecholase activity of a vanadium(V) Schiff base complex

Bioinspired Mo, W and V complexes bearing a highly hydroxyl-functionalized Schiff base ligand

“…A number of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) complexes have also been discovered to efficiently catalyze the same reaction. [18][19][20][21][22][23] Although compounds that display catechol oxidase mimetic activities are usually reserved for of Cu coordination model compounds [24,25], recently many other metals e.g. Co, Mn, Fe, Ni and Zn, as substitutes for copper, have also been used to reach moderate to high conversions of various catechols to o-benzoquinones.…”

“…[26][27][28] There are also some examples on the catechol oxidase mimicking activity of molecular vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) complexes. [18][19][20][21][22][23] It is well established that various catechols readily form redox non-innocent complexes with vanadium, where the vanadium center may be assigned +III, +IV and +V oxidation states. [29][30][31][32][33] There are also some reports for catecholate-containing molybdenum and even tungsten complexes.…”

Characterizations of crystalline structure and catalytic activity of zwitterionic imidazole derivatives

“…The catalytic activity of a complex can be evaluated by determining the kinetic parameters of the oxidation reaction. Thus, oxidation rates were determined by the initial rate method then analyzed with Michaelis-Menten model which is commonly used in enzymatic catalysis [38,39]. Parameters for the oxidation reaction were determined.…”

Oxidovanadium(v) complexes with l-proline-based amino acid phenolates

“…There are also some examples on the catechol oxidase mimicking activity of molecular vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) complexes. [5][6][7][8][9] Moreover, artificial oxidovanadium(V) complexes can be used as catalysts in a number of organic oxidation reactions, e.g. sulfoxidation, epoxidation and oxidative bromination.…”
