Abstract
The simple and effective synthesis of novel oligomer based on catechol-ligated copper was described in this study. The physicochemical and morphological characterizations of the resulting oligomer were characterized using PXRD, XRF, FT-IR, MALDI-TOF, DSC, SEM-EDS, GLC. The XRD study argued that the copper oligocatecholate possesses a helical structure, in which three catechol fragments were fitted into one turn of the helix. Additionally, the catalytic activity of novel oligomer was also preliminarily investigated in the aqueous oxidation of methanethiol in alkaline solution.
