This work presents the synthesis and characterization of two Cu(ii)-based coordination polymers prepared by utilizing two different Co(iii)-based metalloligands offering appended arylcarboxylic acid groups. Both coordination polymers are three-dimensional in nature and present pores and channels filled with water molecules. Both coordination polymers function as heterogeneous catalysts for the epoxidation of various olefins using O2 while employing isobutyraldehyde as the coreductor and for peroxide-mediated oxidation of assorted benzyl alcohols. The catalytic results illustrate efficient oxidation reactions, whereas the hot-fltration test and leaching experiments indicate the true heterogeneous nature of the catalysis.

Uniformly sized silica microspheres were synthesized by a hydrolysis-condensation method. The obtained material was etched with a mild aqueous potassium hydroxide solution for different periods of time to break their Si-O-Si bonds and increases the density of hydroxyl groups on their surfaces. The resulting materials were then used as transition metal-free catalysts for oxidation of olefins in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant. The materials were thoroughly characterized using various physicochemical techniques. These highly populated hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica microspheres were proven to be responsible for excellent conversion (up to 93%) and epoxide selectivity (up to 100%) for various olefins. Quantum mechanical calculations also corroborate the experimental findings. Furthermore, both experimental and theoretical studies show that tertiary silanols were present at the active sites of the catalyst surface and were responsible for olefin epoxidation.

Amide-based ligands H2L1, H2L2 and H2L3 containing thiazole, thiazoline and benzothiazole appended groups have been used to synthesize Zn2+ (1 and 3), Cd2+ complexes (2 and 4), and a Mn2+ complex (5). In all cases, potentially multidentate ligands create a meridional N3 coordination environment around the M(ii) ion whereas additional sites are occupied by labile nitrate ions in 1-4 and MeOH in 5. Interestingly, metal complexation caused the migration of protons from amidic N-H sites to the appended heterocyclic rings in complexes 1-4. Structural studies show that the protonated heterocyclic rings in these complexes create a hydrogen bond based cavity adjacent to the metal ion. Importantly, binding studies confirm that the substrates are bound within the complex cavity closer to the Lewis acidic metal in all complexes including the oxidation-sensitive Mn ion in complex 5. All complexes have been utilized as the reusable and heterogeneous catalysts for ring-opening reactions of assorted epoxides, cyanation reactions of various aldehydes, and epoxidation reactions of several olefins.
