Abstract
A number of complexing polymers containing carboxylic, phosphorylic, amine, imine and pyridine functional groups have been prepared and their complexes with copper, cobalt and nickel have been obtained. The complexes were prearranged for reactions of liquid phase oxidation and hydrogenation of hydrocarbons by means of formation and subsequent fixation in memory of the catalysts the structure of active centres favorable for catalyzed substrate. It has been shown that the prearranged complexes might ≤remember≥ the structure optimum for the substrate and this leads to an essential increase in catalytic activity and selectivity of the catalysts.
