This study reports on the preparation of the Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41-MnP and Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41(E)-MnP heterogeneous catalysts. They are systems that allies the catalytic properties of metalloporphyrins with the magnetic properties of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles in a structured matrix of MCM-41 mesoporous silica. Synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles was followed by surface coating with a thin silica layer (Fe3O4@nSiO2). Then, a MCM-41-type mesoporous silica structure was grown over the coated particles in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, as surfactant, and tetraethylorthosilicate, as the silica precursor, to yield the Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41 composite. It was incorporated into the synthesis route of Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41(E) composite the mesitylene as expanding agent structure, in order to obtain pores with diameters greater than the characteristic for the MCM-41 mesoporous silica. The resulting composites was functionalized with the silylating agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. This enabled covalent immobilization of [Mn(TF5PP)]Cl onto the composite via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction, to afford the Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41-MnP and Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41(E)-MnP catalysts. Characterization of the catalysts by ultraviolet-visible and infrared spectroscopies, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance, vibrating sample magnetometer, X-ray diffractometry, scanning and transmission electron microscopies and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, aimed to understand the structure and morphology of the catalysts. The catalytic activity of the systems in hydrocarbon oxidation ((Z)-cyclooctene and cyclohexane) and the drug oxidation (mirtazapine) was evaluated; iodosylbenzene or meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, were used as the oxygen donor agent. The catalytic tests with the hydrocarbons demonstrated higher yields of epoxide for Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41(E)-MnP than Fe3O4@nSiO2@MCM-41-MnP catalyst. These high yields for the first catalyst, were attributed to larger pore size. Both catalysts were selective for the cyclohexanol product, indicating a biomimetic behavior. The drug oxidation, under the preliminary study conditions, generated a metabolite that differs from the two major metabolites (8-hydroxy mirtazapine and demethylmirtazapine) obtained in studies with P450 enzymes. Control drug oxidation studies with manganese porphyrin solution revealed that this system was selective for formation of demethylmirtazapine product. (AU) | |
