Anionic Iron(III) Porphyrin Immobilized on/into Exfoliated Macroporous Layered Double Hydroxides as Catalyst for Oxidation Reactions

The oxidation of organic substrates via catalytic routes is an important class of reactions to produce industrial input materials such as epoxides, alcohols, and ketones. Metalloporphyrins display recognized catalytic activity that mimics oxidation processes in living organisms. Their immobilization in different inert supports allows their recovery and reuse in heterogeneous catalytic processes. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are inorganic materials consisting of di- and trivalent metal hydroxides that afford bidimensional positively charged layers. This work reports on the preparation of the solid based on macroporous LDHs (LDHMs) by the co-precipitation method, which involved the use of polystyrene as template, oxides reconstruction, and exfoliation, to furnish LDHME. We also describe the immobilization of an iron(III) porphyrin (FeP) in LDHME and in LDH intercalated with nitrate anions, obtained by the co-precipitation method. Application of the immobilized catalysts in (Z)-cyclooctene and cyclohexane oxidation will help to assess their catalytic activity.

Summary:The oxidation of organic substrates via catalytic routes is an important class of reactions to produce industrial input materials such as epoxides, alcohols, and ketones. Metalloporphyrins display recognized catalytic activity that mimics oxidation processes in living organisms. Their immobilization in different inert supports allows their recovery and reuse in heterogeneous catalytic processes. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are inorganic materials consisting of di- and trivalent metal hydroxides that afford bidimensional positively charged layers. This work reports on the preparation of the solid based on macroporous LDHs (LDHMs) by the co-precipitation method, which involved the use of polystyrene as template, oxides reconstruction, and exfoliation, to furnish LDHME.
