Novel color isomerism and catalytic activities of Cu(salen) complex encapsulated in a zeolitic matrix

Abstract

The green zeolite encapsulated Cu(salen) complex on treatment with MeCN turns red and is found to be catalytically active towards oxidation reactions whereas the green species is inactive.
