Iron (III) complexes of bis-benzimidazole based diamide ligands N,N'-bis(1-butyl-benzimidazol-2-yl-methyl)-hexane-1,6-dicarboxamide (L1 = b-GBSA) and N,N'-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl-methyl)-benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide (L2 = p-GBBA) have been synthesized. These analyze for the stoichiometry [Fe(L)X-2]X where (X = Cl- and NO3-). Complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Visible, IR, Cyclic Voltammetry, conductance measurements, EPR, Mossbauer, Magnetic susceptibility studies. Isomer shift values (delta) lie in the range of 0.29-0.36 mm/s and Quadrupole shift values (Delta E-q) lie in the range of 0.73-0.81 mm/s. Mossbauer spectroscopy confirms them to be high spin Iron (III) complexes with distorted octahedral geometry, a result which is also confirmed by low temperature EPR spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammograms have been obtained for the Iron (III) complexes. E-1/2 values are quite cathodic. The magnetic moment values are found to be in the range for high spin Iron (III) complexes. The oxidation of electron deficient olefins has been studied using [Fe(b-GBSA)Cl-2]Cl and [Fe(p-GBBA)Cl-2]Cl as a catalyst and TBHP as an alternate source of oxygen. Products have been characterized by GCMS analysis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
