Abstract

A new iron(III) porphyrin acrylate-styrene copolymer, P[(PorFe)A-S], was synthesized by the reaction of iron(III) porphyrin acrylate with styrene and characterized by UV-Vis, Infrared spectra (IR), inductively coupled plasmaatomic emission spectrometry (ICP) and molecular weight determination. Its catalytic activity in the hydroxylation of cyclohexane for model cytochrome P450 in the P[(PorFe) A-S]-O2-ascrobate-thiosalicylic acid system has been studied. It was found that the P[(PorFe)A-S] has a higher catalytic activity than non-supported iron(III) porphyrin and its high catalytic activity remained in reuse. The catalytic activity of P[(PorFe)A-S] was discussed in the view of the microenvironment of iron(III) porphyrin. It is proposed that the catalytic activity of the P[(PorFe)A-S] may be further enhanced by construction of a homophase catalytic system containing the iron(III) porphyrin acrylate-styrene copolymer.
