Spectroscopic and catalytic investigations of transition metal complexes intercalated in layered silicates
Abstract
dc:descriptionA battery of spectroscopic techniques, including electron paramagnetic resonance, $\sp{57}$Fe Mossbauer, UV-VIS, and magnetic susceptibility have been used in the study of layered silicates. The oxidative coupling of phenols catalyzed by copper complexes intercalated into smectite clay minerals show that this type of reaction can be made very selective, due to the environment of the interlamellar layer of the clay mineral. The oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenol leads to a greater selectivity toward the diphenoquinone than the polyphenyleneoxide polymer when the catalytic reaction occurs in the clay inter-layer.
