Abstract

Nickel salen and salophen complexes have been covalently anchored on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The MWNT-supported nickel complexes have been characterized by inductive coupled plasma spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The catalytic performance for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols was evaluated using ...
