Abstract:
The chemistry of the peroxo complexes of various transition metals
has received considerable attention in recent· years mainly because they
are sources of active oxygen atoms and can be used as stoichiometric as
well as catalytic oxidants for organic and inorganic substrates; eg,, they
can be successfully used for the oxidation of olefins, ketones, phosphines,
arsines etc. We have successfully employed peroxo complexes to generate
glycerine from allyl alcohol which is. indeed an industrial aspect of the
project.
The present thesis describes isolation and characterisation of
different peroxo complexes of Zr (IV), Th (IV), Mo (VI), W .{ VI) and U {VI) .
ions containing different bi-dentate, tri-dentate and quardri-dentate
ligands. A few oxygen transfer reactions of the complexes towards olefins,
ketones, triphenyl phosphine and tripheny] arsine have been investigated.-----
