Abstract: This paper first reports the biomimetic catalytic character of new Schiff base mononuclear complexes MH2L{M = Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ)Cl, Cr(Ⅲ)Cl, Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ); L = bis[N,N'-ethylene-2,2'-(phenylmethylene)bis(3,4-dimethylpyrrole-5-aldimino)]} and dinuclear complexes MnML[M = Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ)Cl, Cr(Ⅲ)Cl, Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ)] for the monooxygenation of cyclohexane with PhIO. The results showed that the catalytic property of the dinuclear complex is better than that of the mononuclear complex, so we supposed that there is some cooperation between the two metals in these dinuclear complexes. It seems that this cooperation increases with the increase of the number of unpaired d electrons in the dinuclear complexes.
