Summary on Grant Application Form |
This project seeks to synthesize a series of isoskeletal tetranuclear 3d/Dy(III) CCs possessing a defect dicubane topology, with functionalized Schiff base ligands and investigate their use in catalysis.
The Schiff-base linkers will be employed along with divalent transition metal and Dy(III) ions for the synthesis of CCs. Substituted o-vanillin molecules will be coupled with 2-aminophenol or enantiomerically pure 2-phenylglycinol to synthesize organic Schiff Base linkers. The proposed ligands when combined with divalent transition metal and trivalent lanthanide ions result in the synthesis of tetranuclear CCs possessing defect dicubane topology.
The targeted CCs will be used as catalyst for different Lewis-acid catalysed organic reactions. The catalytic activity of those compounds will be studied in protic and non-protic systems. This is a new approach of using 3d/Dy CCs as catalysts, and will be studied for the first time.
