C1-symmetric vanadyl Schiff-base complexes were synthesized by reacting vanadium(IV) acetylacetonate with (S)-3-[(1-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)naphthalen-2-ylimino]methyl]-phenanthrene-4-ol and (S)-2-{[1-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)naphthalen-2-ylimino]methyl}tetraphene-1-ol. The complexes were characterized by MALDI-TOF-MS, UV–vis, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The catalysts showed moderate activity for the oxidation of thioanisole to methyphenylsulfoxide with hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and cumene hydroperoxide as the oxidants.

A series of transition metal alanine-salicylaldehyde Schiff base chromium (III) complexes immobilized on MCM-41 were prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical measurements such as FIIR, XRD, HRTEM, N2 sorption and elemental analysis. The immobilized complexes were effective and stable catalysts for the epoxidation of styrene and cyclohexene with 30% hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the metal centers were found to play important roles in the catalytic performance of immobilized complex catalysts.
