Abstract: The influences of magnetic fields on the biocatalytic properties of Schiff base mono- and dinuclear complexes for the monooxygenation of cyclohexane by PhIO were studied.It was found that the catalytic activities of these catalysts increase with the increase of the outside magnetic field intensity used, and the effects of magnetic field on the catalytic properties of these dinuclear complexes generally increase with the increase of the number of unpaired d electrons of the metaLIon and the magnetic exchange between the two metals in these dinuclear complexes.Furthermore, it was found that the effect of magnetic field on the iron complex was greater than that on the other metallic complexes, and the effect of magnetic field on the mononuclear complex was greater than that on the dinuclear complex.
