atalytic Activity of Styrene-divinyl Benzene Supporting Metallophthalocyanine

Binuclear cobalt phthalocyanine (Co2Pc2) was supported on styrene-divinyl benzene resin by covalent bond to obtain a novel catalytic functional material, Resin-Co2Pc2. The effects of pH, the quantity of Resin-Co2Pc2 and temperature on the catalytic activity of Resin-Co2Pc2 on 2-mercaptoethanol were investigated. The results showed that Resin-Co2Pc2 had high catalytic activity on 2-mercaptoethanol, and even the catalytic activity was the best at pH11. The reaction can further be enhanced with the quantity of Resin-Co2Pc2 and temperature increasing, due to its endothermic characteristics. There was no decrease in the catalytic activity of Resin-Co2Pc2 after five repetitive experiments, which indicated that Resin-Co2Pc2 could be recycled.
