Abstract:
New vanadium oxodiperoxocomplexes Bu4N+[VO(O2)2 L2]− were synthesized, where L=pyridine (1), 2-methylpyridine (2), 4-methylpyridine (3), 2-oxymethylpyridine (4). All complexes were characterized by NMR (1H, 51V) and IR spectroscopy. The oxidation of sulfur organic compounds and diesel fuel desulfurization catalyzed by vanadium peroxocomplexes in bi-phase system was investigated in various solvents. The complexes manifested high catalytic activity and selectivity in oxidation of sulfides.
