All CPs were characterized by FT-IR, Raman, elemental, thermal analysis as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses shows that the CPs 1 and 3 are two-dimensional structures, whereas CP 2 is a three-dimensional structure where two adjacent metal ions ions are linked via 3ampy and CN bridges. The coordination spheres of all CPs show distorted octahedral geometries. CP 3 was mainly tested as heterogenous catalyst for peroxidative oxidation of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives (4-chloro, 4-bromo, 4-methyl, 4-metoxy and 4-nitro benzyl alcohol). From the results, the highest aldehyde formation was obtained from the oxidation of benzyl alcohol with overall yield as 100%. In addition, catalytic reactions exhibited high selectivity towards aldehyde and no over-oxidation product (carboxylic acid) was observed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHexacyanochromate(III)Hexacyanoferrate(III)Hexacyanocobaltate(III)3-(Aminomethyl)pyridine complexCoordination polymer2D complex3D complexCatalystArticle3431081109110.1007/s10904-023-02861-z2-s2.0-85173957509Q1WOS:001077523700002Q2
