Abstract

In the present work, spectrally pure free porphyrin ligands were obtained directly from petroleum asphaltenes for the first time. The complexes synthesized from them with various metals, such as cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, have been characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, MALDI, and IR spectroscopy. The possibility of using these metal complexes in the reactions of catalytic epoxidation of alkenes and oxidation of alcohols is shown. Petroleum porphyrins of cobalt proved to be effective catalysts for these processes, whereas petroleum porphyrins of copper, nickel, and zinc showed no catalytic activity.
