Synthesis and characterization of porous organic polymer containing tailored AB3 metalloporphyrin: highly active and reusable catalyst for oxidation of benzyl alcohol

In this work, a modern and attractive Cu(II) porphyrin-based polymer network with high surface area was synthesized. This strategy prepares an easy approach to produce highly stable Cu-Porphyrin-based polymer network. The organization of this catalyst was certified by spectroscopic (ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy). Catalytic activity of Cu-Porphyrin-based polymer network has been investigated for oxidation of benzyl alcohols to the benzaldehydes. The results indicated that this catalyst displayed high catalytic activity and recycling efficiency in oxidation of benzyl alcohols.
