The first remarkable property associated to metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) was their chemical “inertness”, which made and make them very attractive as stable durable industrial dyes. Nevertheless, rich redox chemistry also explored in the last decades, making available a solid detailed knowledge background for further studies on suitability of MPcs catalysts. An overlook catalytic activity with ...

Mild catalytic oxidation of thioethers and thiophenes is an important reaction for the synthesis molecules with pharmaceutical interest, as well development efficient processes able to remove sulfur-containing pollutants from fuels wastewater. With respect green chemistry principles, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ideal oxidant Me-containing porous materials (Me = Ti, V, Mo, W, Zr) are among best het...
