Abstract
In this paper, the tetra-[α-(p-formyl) phenoxy] phthalocyanine cobalt (II)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CoPc/MWCNTs) composites were prepared through the π-π interactions between CoPc and MWCNTs. UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were employed to characterize the structures of the prepared CoPc/MWCNTs composites. Its catalyzed oxidation properties were studied by carrying out the oxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The catalytic efficiency of these compounds under different reaction parameters such as catalyst dosage, temperature, time and various organic solvent was investigated.
