Book Description
Solvent ligated metal complexes of the type [M(CH3CN)6][A2] (M = Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) (A = [B(C6F5)4]-) has been synthesised, characterized and applied for Isobutene polymerization. [Cu(CH3CN)6][A2] (A = [B(C6F5)4]-) and [B(C6H3m-(CF3)2)4]) complexes has been synthesized, characterized, immobilized on P4VP polymer support and the catalytic activity for cyclopropanation of olefins has been tested. [Cu(CH3CN)6][B(C6F5)4] complex immobilized on modified MCM-41 surface and found to be active for cyclopropanation of olefins. [Cu(CH3CN)6][B(C6H3m-(CF3)2)4] complex has been grafted on the surface of aminosilane modified SBA-15 and the catalytic activity for aldehyde olefination was measured. All the heterogenized complexes can be reused and found to be active for several runs with relatively high activity.
