The catalysis of some novel polystyrene-supported porphyrinatomanganese(III) in hydroxylation of cyclohexane with molecular oxygen
Some novel polystyrene-supported porphyrinatomanganese(III) in which alkyl group is bonded to the surface of polystyrene, PS-[Mn(HPTPP)Cl] (CnH2n+1) (n = 2, 6, 8, 18), have been synthesized. Their catalytic activities to hydroxylate cyclohexane in PS-[Mn(HPTPP)Cl] (CnH2n+1)-O-2-ascrobate system have been found to be higher compared with corresponding non-supported porphyrinatomanganese(III) and increase with the increase of the length of alkyl. These results are discussed in the point of view of metalloporphyrin microenvironment.
