Studies on Immobilized Polymer-Bound Imidazole Copper(II) Complexes as Catalysts

摘要

The thesis describes the immobilization of polymer-bound imidazole Cu(II) complexes on non-porous silica spheres. The catalytic properties of these immobilized polymeric Cu(II) complexes and their non-immobilized polymeric or low-molar-mass analogs were examined in oxidative coupling (polymerization) of 2,6-disubstituted phenols. In view of their intermediate catalytic activity, high specificity and good stability, N-substituted imidazole Cu(II) complexes appear to be promising catalysts for the applied phenol oxidation reactions.
