“…The heterogeneous oxidation catalysis of alcohols with an environmentally suitable oxidant, hydrogen peroxide, is quite an interesting objective for both the academic and industrial fields [1]. Among the newer heterogeneous oxidation catalysts attracting interest are copper containing porous and nonporous materials, such as Cu 2+ -phthalocyanine incorporated inside Y-faujasite and MCM-41 [2], Cu-HMS [3], Cu 2+ -substituted MCM-41 [4], zeolite encapsulated Cu 2+ -salens [5], Cu 2+ /X and Y zeolite [6], Cu(OH) 2 /silica [7], and cis-bisglycianato Cu 2+ /1,6-naphthalenediol oligomer [8], which have been shown to be active for selective oxidations of a variety of organic compounds in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or organic peroxide. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of copper(II) complexes of 14-membered hexaaza macrocyclic ligand, 3,3,5,8,10,[Cu(R 2 Bzo 2 [14]aneN 6 )] 2+ (R = H, Me, Et, Bu and benzyl), encapsulated within the nanodimensional pores of zeolite-Y by the one-pot template condensation of formaldehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine with alkyl and benzyl amine, [Cu(R 2 Bzo 2 [14] [9].…”
