摘要
A tetrameric cubane complex CO4111(mu(3)-O)(4)(mu-O2CCH3)(4)(4-CNpy)(4) (I) has been prepared in good yield by H2O2 oxidation of Co-11 in presence of CH3CO22- and 4-cyanopyridine (4-CNpy) in methanol. The complex has been characterized by various physicochernical techniques including elemental analysis, UV-Vis, infrared and H-1 NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Oxidation of p-xylene under mild pressure with dioxygen in aqueous media has been studied using the tetrameric cubane complex I as the catalyst. The main oxidation product in the catalytic reaction is p-toluic acid is, with terephthalic acid forming in traces. The reaction rate and product yield (maximum p-toluic acid yield similar to 36% at 20 bar oxygen pressure at 130 degrees C are linearly dependent upon the applied pressure and reaction temperature.
