IntroductionIntroductionFrom the point of view of Green Chemistry, polymer-
based catalysts are very environmentally friendly. These
catalysts can be used and recycled in green solvents
such as liquid polymers and supercritical carbon dioxide.
They can also be very selective.
In our recent studies, a series of α- pyridyl-imine
terminated polydimethylsiloxane ligands have been
synthesized and characterized. It is interesting that these
carbon dioxide miscible ligands form metallocyclic
complexes when coordinated with copper(I) salt.
Meanwhile, they provide perfect binding sites for copper
(II) ions which then work as catalysts for more efficient
aerobic oxidations of primary and secondary alcohols.

SummarySummary• α-Pyridyl-imine terminated PDMS compounds have
been prepared and characterised.• Coordination chemistry with Cu(I) shows the formation
of [1+1] metallocycles.
• The TEMPO/[CuBr2]/L1 catalytic system is very
effective for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols.• Future studies will involve the study of catalytic
reaction mechanism and the recycling of the catalyst.• Attempts will also be made to obtain further evidence
for the structures of these metallocyclic polymers.
