Iron porphyrins anchored to a thermosensitive polymeric core-shell nanosphere as a thermotropic catalyst

Abstract

A thermosensitive nanocatalyst was prepared in the reaction of water-soluble iron(III) porphyrins and thermosensitive polymeric nanospheres with a core-shell structure; its catalytic activity in cyclohexene oxidation by iodosylbenzene was dependent markedly on reaction temperatures in aqueous solution. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
