Abstract

Efficient oxidation of sulfides was achieved. In the chemical system containing Mn(III)-salophen complex as catalyst, sulfides converted efficiently to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones with sodium periodate. The ability of various Schiff base complexes in the oxidation of sulfides was also investigated. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
