[New iron-porphyrin/vanadium-substituted polyoxometalate catalyst: synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity].

ABSTRACT

A new kind of iron-porphyrin/vanadium-substituted polyoxometalate coordination compound was synthesized by the ion exchange reaction of FeTTMAPPI and H5PMo10V2o40 in solution. The new catalyst was characterized by IR spectrometry and UV-Vis spectrometry. As an excellent catalyst, its effects on benzene hydroxylation and catalytic capabilities were studied with H2O2 solution as the oxidant. The results indicated that the products contained the conjugated structure of porphyrin and the cage structure of polyoxometalate, the V atom in polyoxometalate is the main centre of catalytic activity, meanwhile the presence of iron-porphyrin could increase its catalytic activity greatly.
