Abstract
A series of Fe–porphyrin complexes have been prepared inside the pores of NaY and Al-MCM-41 by various synthesis procedures. The complexes were characterized by XRD, diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy, IR spectra and thermal analysis. The catalytic performance of the synthesized material was tested by carrying out the epoxidation of cyclohexene at room temperature. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) was found to be the most convenient oxidizing reagent. No leaching of the metalporphyrin or uncomplexed metal ions was observed.
