Design of vanadium complexes with a thiophene-based hydrazone ligand for selective benzyl and salicyl alcohol oxidation
Two vanadium complexes incorporating a thiophene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazone ligand (H2L) were synthesized and structurally characterized. The ligand was obtained by mechanochemical condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with thiophene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide, while the vanadium complexes were prepared via a solutio...
