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). 

Numerous books and reviews regarding the chemistry in SCF with substantial contributions to the field of oxidation are available from the last decade (e.g. Refs. 12-14) and from the years before 2000 (e.g. Refs. 2, 12-14). Specialised reviews focus on reactions either in SCCO2 (general issues, homogeneous catalysis, " oxidation, catal5dic oxidations ) or in SCH2O (thermodynamic data, fundamentals, basic work on catalyst stability, heterogeneous catalysis, oxidations ).

The research field of metal-oxide interfaces is very active, partly because of their important technological applications. For example, in heterogeneous catalysis, oxide powders or porous compounds, such as zeolites, are used as supports for transition metal clusters, because they provide a large - external or internal - specific area of contact with the metal. In many cases, it is also recognized that they modify the cluster reactivity (Dufour and Perdereau, 1988). Oxide surfaces, such as those of MgO or SrTiOs, whose quality and planarity are well controlled, have been used as substrates for the deposition of thin superconductor films. This has been particularly important since the discovery that some copper oxide based compounds remain superconductors above liquid nitrogen temperature. Thin metallic films are also deposited on various oxides in the fabrication of optical devices, or on glass in the fabrication of mirrors. 

There has been a general updating of the material in all the chapters the treatment of films at the liquid-air and liquid-solid interfaces has been expanded, particularly in the area of contemporary techniques and that of macromolecular films. The scanning microscopies (tunneling and atomic force) now contribute more prominently. The topic of heterogeneous catalysis has been expanded to include the well-studied case of oxidation of carbon monoxide on metals, and there is now more emphasis on the flexible surface, that is, the restructuring of surfaces when adsorption occurs. New calculational methods are discussed. 

The scope of oxidation chemistry is enormous and embraces a wide range of reactions and processes. This article provides a brief introduction to the homogeneous free-radical oxidations of paraffinic and alkylaromatic hydrocarbons. Heterogeneous catalysis, biochemical and hiomimetic oxidations, oxidations of unsaturates, anodic oxidations, etc, even if used to illustrate specific points, are arbitrarily outside the purview of this article. There are, even so, many unifying features among these areas. 

Heterogeneous Catalysis. The main discovery of the 1980s was the use of titanium sihcaUte (TS-1) a synthetic zeoHte from the ZSM family containing no aluminum and where some titanium atoms replace siUcon atoms in the crystalline system (Ti/Si = 5%) (33). This zeoHte can be obtained by the hydrolysis of a siUcate and an alkyl titanate in the presence of quaternary ammonium hydroxide followed by heating to 170°C. Mainly studies have been devoted to the stmcture of TS-1 and its behavior toward H2O2 (34). The oxidation properties of the couple H2O2/TS-I have been extensively developed in...

Nonstoichiometric oxide phases are of great importance in semiconductor devices, in heterogeneous catalysis and in understanding photoelectric, thermoelectric, magnetic and diffusional properties of solids. They have been used in thermistors, photoelectric cells, rectifiers, transistors, phosphors, luminescent materials and computer components (ferrites, etc.). They are cmcially implicated in reactions at electrode surfaces, the performance of batteries, the tarnishing and corrosion of metals, and many other reactions of significance in catalysis. ... 

Perhaps the most familiar example of heterogeneous catalysis is the series of reactions that occur in the catalytic converter of an automobile (Figure 11.12). Typically this device contains 1 to 3 g of platinum metal mixed with rhodium. The platinum catalyzes the oxidation of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons such as benzene, C6H6 ...

He joined the chemistry faculty of Northwestern University in 1984 where he is now Professor of Chemistry and an active member of the Center for Catalysis and Surface Science and the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Kenneth Poeppelmeier has published over 250 research papers and supervised approximately 40 Ph.D. students in the area of inorganic and solid state chemistry. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and has been a Lecturer for the National Science Council of Taiwan (1991), Natural Science Foundation of China (1999) and Chemistry Week in China (2004), and more recently an Institut Universitaire de France Professor (2003). 

Zeolites form a unique class of oxides, consisting of microporous, crystalline aluminosilicates that can either be found in nature or synthesized artificially [J.M. Thomas, R.G. Bell and C.R.A. Catlow in Handbook of Heterogeneous Catalysis (Ed. G. Ertl, H. Knbzinger and J. Weitkamp) (1997), Vol. 1, p. 206, VCH, Weinheim.]. The zeolite framework is very open and contains channels and cages where cations, water and adsorbed molecules may reside and react. The specific absorption properties of zeolites are used in detergents, toothpaste, and desiccants, whereas their acidity makes them attractive catalysts.
