Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, characterization, and application of vanadium-salan complexes in oxygen transfer reactions.
Pedro Adão,João Costa Pessoa,Rui T. Henriques,Maxim L. Kuznetsov,Fernando Avecilla,Mannar R. Maurya,Umesh Kumar,Isabel Correia +7 more
TL;DR: The V-Salen and V-salan complexes show higher activity and normally better selectivity in alkene oxidation and higherActivity and enantioselectivity for sulfoxidation than their parent V- salen complexes, therefore being an advantageous alternative ligand system for oxidation catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxyquinoline derived vanadium(IV and V) and copper(II) complexes as potential anti-tuberculosis and anti-tumor agents.
Isabel Correia,Pedro Adão,Somnath C. Roy,Mohamed Wahba,Cristina P. Matos,Mannar R. Maurya,Fernanda Marques,Fernando Rogério Pavan,Clarice Queico Fujimura Leite,Fernando Avecilla,João Costa Pessoa +10 more
TL;DR: In the non-tumorigenic HEK cells poor selectivity toward cancer cells for most of the complexes was observed, as well as for cisplatin, while almost all tested vanadium complexes were very active against Mtb and theMICs were comparable to, or better than, the MICs of drugs, such as streptomycin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilisation of oxovanadium(IV), dioxomolybdenum(VI) and copper(II) complexes on polymers for the oxidation of styrene, cyclohexene and ethylbenzene
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of 2-thiomethylbenzimidazole (Htmbmz) with polystyrene yielded a product designated by (PS-ligand), which corresponds mostly to the tmbmZ bound to the poly styrene matrix by the sulfur atom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vanadium diaminebis(phenolate) complexes: syntheses, structures, and reactivity in sulfoxidation catalysis.
TL;DR: All vanadium(V) complexes were tested as thioanisole sulfoxidation catalysts, revealing very high selectivity when H(2)O(2), however, no enantioselectivity was observed even when enantiopure 3 was used as the catalyst precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vanadium(V) complexes of a tripodal ligand, their characterisation and biological implications
TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of the tripodal tetradentate dibasic ligand 6,6′-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylazanediylbis(methylene)bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol), H2L1I, with [VIVO(acac)2] in CH3CN gives the VVO-complex, [VVO(ACac)(L1)] 1.
