Project Title: “Development of Fe(III)complexes of amido-quinoline tetradentate acyclic ligands: Catalysts for C-H activation and Epoxidation”
Job Title: Research Associate
No.of posts: 01
Funding: CSIR-INDIA
Brief Description About the Project:
In nature, metalloenzymes catalyze epoxidation; and C-H activations with oxidants like O2/H2O2, often exhibit exquisite substrate specificity as well as regioselectivity and/or stereoselectivity, and operate under mild conditions in a sustainable way. Hence, for several decades, a significant amount of research has been carried out to make systems that mimic these enzymes using biological relevant first-row transition metals. The key design principle of efficient-transition metal oxidation catalysts is that metal complexes should activate H2O2 or O2 to perform selective oxidation, but should be inert to oxidation in the reaction condition. This project aims to develop iron-based complexes that perform selective oxidation with turnover numbers comparable to that of metalloenzymes. A series of Fe(III) complexes of deprotonated amido-quinoline tetradentate acyclic ligands will be synthesized. The two negatively charged amide donors are comparatively strong σ –donors. They will provide hydrolytic stability to the precursor complex and oxidative stability to the metal-oxo intermediates. The quinoline moiety on the side arms will allow extensive delocalization of the electron density over the metal complex, which can be easily tuned by installing electro-rich or electro-deficient substituents.
Eligibility:
Ph.D. in the area of coordination chemistry and inorganic reaction mechanism with work experience in homogeneous catalysis and expertise in cyclic voltammetry, GC, and HPLC.
