Heterogeneous Activation and Application of Hydrogen Peroxide

Homogeneous catalysts also have the advantage over heterogeneous systems in that the former are highly reproducible, because they have a definite 

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the benefits of employing heterogeneous catalysts with hydrogen peroxide for the liquid-phase oxidation of organic substrates. Two broad classes of heterogeneous system will be discussed

The good chemical and physical stability of many MOPs, coupled with synthetic diversity and potential for pore size control, bodes well for applications in heterogeneous catalysis. For example, microporous phthalocyanine and porphyrin network polymers are used as heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexene, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and the oxidation of hydro-quinone [52]. Enhanced catalytic activity was observed with respect to low molar mass analogues. There is considerable scope for future development here -for example, the design of electrocatalytic materials using CMPs [11, 12, 19].
