The invention provides an N,N-single ligand
metal catalyst with three-dimensional structure and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst has a structural general formula as below. Mt represents
nickel,
palladium,
cobalt, iron or
copper metal atom; R1 represents
bromine,
chlorine,
iodine,
phenyl group, propyl group, butyl group,
phenyl group, naphthyl group, methoxy group or ethoxy group; when R2 is
aromatic amine, it represents
aniline,
naphthylamine, p-
methylaniline, p-chloroaniline, p-fluoroaniline, p-fluoroaniline, p-bromoaniline, p-
nitroaniline, o-bromoaniline, o-chloroaniline, o-nitraniline, 2,6-
dichloroaniline, 2,6-difluoroaniline, 2,6-dibromoaniline, 2,6-
dinitroaniline, 2,6-
dimethylaniline, 2,6-diisopropyl
aniline, 2,4-difluoroaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4-
dichloroaniline, 2,4,6-trichloroaniline, 2,4,6-tribromo
aniline, 2,4,6-trifluoroaniline, 2,4,6-trinitroaniline, 6-hydroxynaphthylamine, 1-aminoindan, fluoreneamine or 4-nitro
naphthylamine; and when R2 is
aliphatic amine, it represents
ethylamine,
propylamine,
butylamine, heptylamine,
isopropylamine, tert-
butylamine or
cyclohexylamine. The preparation method is simple, less in by-products, and
environmentally friendly.
