After the gas outlet tube was closed, the reactor was put into
a paraffin oil path and heated to certain temperature. The con-
sumption of oxygen was measured by the gauge glass. After the
reaction, the products were analyzed by gas chromatograph and
GC/MS.

tridentate Schiff-base metal complexes (PS–DA–M)
3.1. Characterization
The method of preparation of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophotone was
the sameas mentionedin Ref. [29]. The yield of 2,4-dihydroxyaceto-
photone is 65% and m.p. is 417.4 K.
Chloromethylated polystyrene (5.0 g, equivalent to 22.5 mmol
of Cl) was added into 50 ml of acetone. Then acetone solution

cooling, an orange polymer precipitated out, which was filtered and
washed with water and anhydrous ethanol, respectively. The solid
was dried in vacuum at 323 K for 24 h to obtain chloromethylated
polystyrene supported 2,4-dihydroxyacetophotone.
Chloromethylated polystyrene supported 2,4-dihydroxyaceto-
photone (2 g, 9.0 mmol) was added to 2-aminopyridine (0.84 g, 9.0
mmol) in 50 ml of anhydrous ethanol. The mixture was heated and
refluxed for 24 h and then cooled to room temperature. The prod-
ucts obtained were filtered off and washed with ethanol and dried
at 323 K in vacuum for 24 h to give polymer-supported tridentate

411–419 cm are due to ꢀO–M and ꢀN–M, respectively, which are
absent in the spectrum of the ligand, further supporting the partic-

In order to prove the coordination of polymer-supported triden-

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of copper acetate, ligand and its
complex have been studied (Fig. 2). Compared to copper acetate, the
binding energy of Cu2p3/2 of complex increases 3.0 eV. The change
of binding energy of the Cu2p3/2 means a decrease of its election
density. On the other hand, binding energy of N1s1/2 of polymer
complex decreases 5.1 eV than that of the corresponding ligand of
PS–DA. The electronic state of the nitrogen atom in the polymer
complex is of higher electron density and, therefore, the electrons
in the copper atom may flow into the nitrogen atom to form an
N–Cu coordination bond. The O1s1/2 binding energy of the polymer
complex is raised of 0.6 eV than that of the corresponding support,
which indicates that oxygen atom in hydroxy group is bound with
metal ion. The structure of complex can be ensured as in Scheme 1.
The thermogravimetric analyses (TG) of the PS–DA and
PS–DA–Cu were measured under nitrogen atmosphere in the tem-
perature range from 293 K to 1023 K in order to investigate the
thermal stability. It was showed that degradation of the polymer
ligand (PS–DA) was from 484 K to 1023 K (Fig. 3). And the polymer-
supported copper complex (PS–DA–Cu) was gradually from 462 K
to 1023 K. The corresponding weight loss for PS–DA, PS–DA–Cu in
above temperature range was 86%, 67%, respectively.
PS–DA was added to Cu2+ solution dissolved in 50 ml of abso-
lute ethanol, and then the mixtures were refluxed for 24 h. After
the reaction, the solids were collected by filtration, washed with
ethanol and dried at 353 K in vacuum to give chloromethylated
polystyrene supported tridentate Schiff-base copper (II) complex
(
PS–DA–Cu). The synthesis routine of PS–DA–M was shown in
Scheme 1. PS–DA–Co, PS–DA–Ni and PS–DA–Mn were prepared as
the same way, respectively.
2.3. Oxidation reaction
Typical oxidation of substrate was performed according to
the procedure described in the literature [30]. The substrate and
the catalyst (chloromethylated polystyrene supported tridentate
Schiff-base metal complexes) were added to the special glass reac-
tor. The oxygen was filled from the gauge glass and the atmosphere
