ON THE CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF MO(VI)-GRAFTED POLY(THIOETHER-AMIDO-ACID) CROSS-LINKED RESINS IN LIQUID-PHASE CYCLOHEXENE EPOXIDATION WITH T-BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE

Molybdenum complexes of a new carboxylated resin have been prepared, c haracterized and studied in terms of catalytic activity in epoxidation reactions. In particular, morphological (SEM) and IR analyses have be en performed in order to correlate the structure of the complexes with their catalytic activity. On the whole, the new heterogeneous molybde num complexes have a clear potential for industrial application.
