These catalysts were effective in the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. The oxidation reactions were carried out in ethyl-methyl-imidazolium ionic liquid in presence of NaOCl. Higher catalytic activity was observed for CoL1. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Catalytic oxidationCo(II) complexesGreen oxidationSchiff base
