Synthesis, Characterizations, and Electrochemical Study of the Electrocatalytic Properties of the Interaction between the Manganese Schiff Base Complex 5,5’-Dibromo N, N’-Bis-(salicylidene)bis-(3-aminopropylamine) and Molecular Oxygen

Abstract

This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a pentadentate Schiff base complex of manganese,  5,5’-dibromo N, N’-bis-(salicylidene)bis-(3-aminopropylamine), and its electrochemical behavior. To understand the effectiveness of manganese complexes in the epoxidation reaction of cyclooctene molecules.

The electrochemical behavior study of the Mn(II)-ClL complex in an organic medium primarily focuses on determining the conditions for homogeneous catalysis. In this regard, cyclic voltammetry was employed as an electrochemical method during this investigation.

This analysis involves studying the electrochemical behavior of the Mn(II)-ClL complex. It includes investigating the catalytic system under nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres on a glassy carbon electrode (CV) in various solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), and acetonitrile (AN), while estimating the formation of metaloxo species (MnV=O).
