Abstract

ABSTRACT The platinum complexes,[Pt4 (NH3) 8 ((CH3) 3CCONH) 4]-(NO3) 5 and [Pt2 (NH3) 4 ((CH3) 3CCONH) 2](NO3) 4, supported on a surface of silica gel, Al2O3, activated carbon, and poly-(4-vinylpyridine) are active heterogeneous catalysts for the liquid phase epoxidation of various olefins under 1 atm of dioxygen in the presence of isobutyraldehyde.
