V V -polymer-supported compounds, their neat analogues and the corresponding peroxido-complexes are prepared and applied as catalyst precursors for the oxidation of isoeugenol.
Highly electron deficient and nonplanar β-octachlorovanadylporphyrin (VOTPPCl 8 ) was synthesized and utilized for selective epoxidation of olefins with very high TOF numbers (6566-9650 h −1 ).
