Abstract
Manganese porphyrin catalysts were tethered to polymer-supports via peptide linkers. The reactivity and chemoselectivity of the catalysts were assessed in the epoxidation of limonene. It was found that the inclusion of a peptide linker incorporating a donor heteroatom which could act as an axial ligand led to a supported manganese porphyrin catalyst with unprecedented selectivity and stability.
