Oxidation of phenol catalyzed by immobilized phthalocyanine complexes

Recent progress in catalytic oxygenation of aromatic C–H groups with the environmentally benign oxidants H2O2 and O2

“…Tomilova and coworkers reported cobalt(II) and copper(II) phthalocyanine complexes immobilized on Nafen fibers as heterogeneous catalysts of phenol oxidation with H 2 O 2 in an aqueous medium. [ 105 ] The conversion reached 40%–50% for the Cu(II) catalyst (yet the reaction products were not specified). Chen and coworkers prepared a novel flake composite CuFeO 2 @reduced graphene oxide ( 56 ) via a one‐step low‐temperature solvothermal route.…”

Degradation of a model dye with zinc phthalocyanine sulphonamide embedded in polymer matrices

“…Immobilized CoPc on cellulose fibres was examined for degradation of J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f Acid Red 1 [18] or Green Acid 1 [19]. CoPc supported on melamine or Nafen [20] was used for oxidation of phenol. Polymeric Pcs of Cu, Co and Zn prepared by condensation of tetraamino Pcs with 1,4-benzenedialdehyde were evaluated in the case of degradation of organic pollutant rhodamine B [21].…”

In Memoriam – Brilliant Chemist, Professor Larisa Tomilova

“…[31][32][33][34] The new direction of recent research of Larisa Tomilova group was devoted to phthalocyanine-based catalysis, including synthesis of biologically-active compounds. [35][36][37][38][39][40] The main achievements of Professor L. Tomilova was summarized in recent book entitled «Advances in the synthesis and investigation of the properties of phthalocyanines and their analogues» published in Russian language in 2019. [41] Under supervision of Professor Larisa Godvigovna Tomilova more than 20 postgraduate students have obtained their Ph.D. degrees and 19 Master degrees.…”
