Preparation and catalytic activity of polymer-bound 1,10-phenanthroline and its complexes
Polymer-bound 1,10-phenanthroline (PS-phen) has been prepared by reaction of chloromethylated polystyrene with 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline. The polymer-bound ligand and its complexes (PS-phenFephen) were characterized by IR spectroscopy and XPS. The polymer bound ferric complexes, which are N,N,N,N-type complexes, show high catalytic selectivity in the oxidation of substituted benzene.
