title: A new oxo-vanadium complex employing an imidazole-rich tripodal ligand: a bioinspired bromide and hydrocarbon oxidation catalyst.
abstract: A vanadyl complex with the ligand (bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)methyl)(2-(pyridyl-2-yl)ethyl)amine was synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography, elemental analyses, cyclic voltammetry and infrared, electronic and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. This compound was designed under the so called hybrid concept. It shows to be able to promiscuously use hydrogen peroxide to oxidize bromide and to catalyze the oxidation of benzene and cyclohexane with very good selectivities.
