A synergistic effect of a cobalt Schiff base complex and TiO2 nanoparticles on aerobic olefin epoxidation†
Abstract
In this study, a cobalt Schiff base complex and TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited a synergistic effect on the visible-light photocatalytic activity in the aerobic oxidation of various olefins in the absence of a reducing agent. The catalyst structure was found to be well preserved after the oxidation reaction and the catalyst could be reused at least five times.
