CATALYTIC ACTIVITY ON CO(II), MN(II) AND CU(II) COMPLEXES BOUND TO MALEIC-ACID ALTERNATING COPOLYMERS

Copolymers and terpolymers of maleic anhydride as insoluble supports f or Co(II), Cu(II) and Mn(II) catalysts, have been synthesized. The str ucture of polymeric matrices were studied by C-13 DD/CP/MAS NMR spectr oscopy. Thermal properties of polymeric complexes were examined by DSC techniques. The complexes of Mn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) ions were used as heterogeneous catalysts in test reaction of degradation of isoprop anol. The kinetic data of dehydration, dehydrogenation and isomerizati on within dehydrogenation of isopropanol were presented and activation energies were estimated.
