Open metal sites heterogeneous catalysis

Spiro-linked CMPs functionalized with metal phthalocyanine units show enhanced catalytic activity towards different reactions." The Co-phthalocyanine-incorporated CMP acts as a catalyst with improved activity for cyclohexene oxidation, hydroquinone oxidation and H2O2 decomposition, whereas the spiro-linked Fe-porphyrin network shows increased catalytic activity for hydroquinone oxidation. The spiro linkages in these networks open up a lot of free space around the catalytic sites to enhance the accessibility of substrates to reach more catalytic sites. More functionalization in this vray of conjugated networks by various metals improves the scope of these networks in heterogeneous catalysis. Oxidation of sulfides, reductive aminations and photocatalyzed aza-Heniy reactions are reactions effectively catalyzed by different metal-incorporated CMPs" (Figure 10.6).
