Notes:
Polymer-supported molybdenum and vanadium catalysts were synthesized using gel-type crosslinked copolymers with microheterogeneous structure. The supports were composed of inert ethylene-propylene rubber and crosslinked high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) matrices and polymeric ligands grafted or forming interpenetrating networks: poly(acrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), poly(4-vinylpyridine), and polyvinyl alcohol. Catalytic activity and selectivity of some of these complexes were tested in epoxidation of styrene by ethylbenzene hydroperoxide. Molybdenyl cations are strongly coordinated with pyridine-containing copolymers giving catalysts of high activity and selectivity. They provide conversion and selectivity above 70%. Because of the microheterogeneous mosaic-like structure of the supports, better accessibility of the active sites is achieved.
