Project: Molybdenum complexes containing chiral N,O-donor ligands. Catalytic applications: hydrosilylation and epoxidation of olefins. Transition metal oxo compounds are involved in oxygen transfer chemistry in both biological and industrial processes. Molybdenum complexes have been extensively studied, especially as models for heterogeneous oxidation catalysts and as the active site of oxo-transfer, molybdenum-containing enzymes. Until recently, most oxo compounds used as oxidation catalysts contained sterically demanding sulfur ligands, since they were believed to be suitable models. Indeed, the nature of the ligands around the molybdenum centre is crucial for the success of the catalytic reaction. To understand oxo-transfer properties, numerous dioxo-molybdenum complexes involving a wide range of ligands have been prepared and characterized. Bidentate S,S-, N,N-, O,O-, or N,O-donor ligands are common in complexes with the [MoO2]2+ core. Among them, N-donor ligands are of interest because they are robust in oxygen transfer reactions. In particular, chiral oxazoline ligands are especially useful in many organic transformations. This project deals with the synthesis of novel functionalized-oxazoline monoanionic bidentate ligands and their coordination to molybdenum. We aim to prepare chiral molybdenum species capable to catalyze the enantioselective epoxidation of olefins and the hydrosilylation of carbonyl groups. The immobilization of the novel catalysts in ionic liquids will be also explored in order to efficiently recover the homogenous catalysts.
