Abstract
A description of preparation procedure and structure of polymer-metal complexes, which are composed of synthetic polymers and metal ions, is followed by a report on a research program in which several copper-polymer ligand complexes have been used as catalysts in oxidative polymerization of phenol derivatives. Experimental data are tabulated, plotted, and evaluated. It is concluded that, at present, it is not yet possible to predict whether a polymer influences a reaction as catalyst or an inhibitor, because the catalytic mechanism of one reaction differs from another and the rate-determining step varies with the reaction conditions. But at least in the catalysis of the oxidative polymerization of phenols, (1) ease in redox reaction of metal ion, and (2) an interaction between metal ion and oxygen are important to design a catalyst which will exhibit high efficiency and selectivity. Polymers are expected to give positive effects on this approach.
