贝茨大学雷切尔·奥斯汀教授实验室的这项研究 学院是由无机，生物无机和有机支持 化学计划下的研究规划补助金。 光化学 金属卟啉在大孔铝硅酸盐（MCM-41）将是 研究为潜在发展提供背景， 光活化催化剂，将氧气插入碳氢化合物中。 用SEM和X射线衍射对MCM-41进行表征， 确定材料的质量。 SEM和NMR研究将 确定金属卟啉是否嵌入MCM-41通道中 或者位于表面上。 本研究的长期目标是开发一种异构的 将O原子插入不反应的烃键的催化剂。 MCM-41的优点将是抑制反应性的 金属卟啉。

This research in the laboratory of Professor Rachel Austin at Bates College is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program under a Research Planning Grant. The photochemistry of metalloporphyrins in large-pore alumino silicates (MCM-41) will be studied to provide background for the potential development of photoactivated catalysts that will insert oxygen into hydrocarbons. MCM-41 will be characterized by SEM and X-ray diffraction as a means of ascertaining the quality of the material. SEM and NMR studies will determine whether metalloporphyrins are embedded in the MCM-41 channels or located on the surface. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a heterogeneous catalyst that will insert an O-atom into unreactive hydrocarbon bonds. The advantage of the MCM-41 will be to immobilize the reactive metalloporphyrin.
