Abstract

Chloromethylated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads with 8% crosslink were chemically modified by reaction with Ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid leading to the incorporation of nitrogen as ligating site on the surface of the polymer. The polymeric ligand on treatment with a solution of Copper chloride gave the corresponding metal complex. The polymer supported Cu(II) complex was characterized by elemental analyses, IR,GC-MS, scanning electron micrographs (SEM). The oxidation of various alcohols such as benzyl alcohol, 2-butanol, and 2-propanol was investigated using the supported metal complexes in presence of molecular oxygen as the oxidant. The swelling studies were done by using different solvents. Kinetic data indicate that the catalysts could be recycled without significant degradation of polymer matrix.
