CARBON SUPPORTED TETRAAMIDO MACROCYCLIC LIGAND CATALYTIC ACTIVATORS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide a tetraamido macrocyclic ligand catalytic activator bound to a carbon containing support. When combined with an oxidant, such as a peroxy compound, the carbon supported catalytic activator is a long-lived, robust oxidizing agent useful for oxidizing oxidizable compounds, such as aromatic groups, conjugated pi systems, natural and synthetic hormones, pesticides, pathogens, and dyes.
