Preparation of Immobilized Chromium Schiff Base Complexes and their Catalytic Performance for Olefins Epoxidation

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of transition metal alanine-salicylaldehyde Schiff base chromium (III) complexes immobilized on MCM-41 were prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical measurements such as FIIR, XRD, HRTEM, N2 sorption and elemental analysis. The immobilized complexes were effective and stable catalysts for the epoxidation of styrene and cyclohexene with 30% hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the metal centers were found to play important roles in the catalytic performance of immobilized complex catalysts.
