Length tunable porphyrinoid porous coordination polymer rods and their heterogeneous catalytic study on olefin oxidation

•Mn(III)-porphyrin based micro-sized porous coordination polymers have been assembled.•The length of particles has been easily modulated from ~0.30 to 3.45 µm.•Regardless of a wide range of length distribution, they are isostructural.•The oxidation of various olefins has been demonstrated with micro-sized PCPs.•They show good recyclability without losing their catalytic activity after 4 runs.

We developed a series of micro-size hexagon-faced plate and rods from Mn(III)-porphyrin and In(III) whose lengths were modulated by water. Regardless of a wide range of length distribution, they are isostructural. In addition, the heterogeneous olefin oxidation was performed.

Graphical abstractThe modulation of Mn(III)-porphyrin based micro-sized porous coordination polymers (PCPs) from hexagonal plate to rods has been demonstrated. Regardless of a wide range of length distribution, they are isostructural. Furthermore, the oxidation of various olefins has been successfully demonstrated with Mn(III)-porphyrin based PCPs.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
