Cooperative enhancement of redox catalysis in divanadium complexes binucleated by 1,8-naphthyridine-2,7-dicarboxylate
We report discrete divanadium complexes of 1,8-naphthyridine-2,7-dicarboxylate, characterized by SCXRD, DFT modelling, and magnetometry. One complex shows significantly greater activity in the aerobic cleavage of diols and a lignin model compound than its monometallic analogs. Mechanistic experiments and a substrate-bound complex provide insight into cooperativity in vanadium redox catalysis.
