Popis: The ability of certain Fe and Mn metalloporphyrins to catalyse the H 2 O 2 epoxidation of cyclooctene is analysed. The ‘efficiency’ of epoxidation is dissected into contributions due to inherent catalyst epoxidation ability, catalyst H 2 O 2 dismutation ability, and catalyst stability towards the oxidant. It is shown that catalyst stability is a major factor contributing to apparent catalyst ability. The preparation of a sol–gel encapsulated metalloporphyrin is reported and it is shown to exhibit reduced rate of epoxidation, but a much enhanced stability.
