Highly Efficient Activation of Molecular Oxygen with Nanoporous Metalloporphyrin Frameworks in Heterogeneous Systems

A nanoporous metalloporphyrin framework exhibits high activity in the activation of molecular oxygen and excellent catalytic activity in the aerobic epoxidation of olefins, with high conversion, outstanding selectivity, and broad substrate applicability. The porous framework is reusable and allows large-scale transformation. These catalytic features are correlated with the structural characteristics of the porous framework and mark a breakthrough for this classic reaction.
