“…Secondly, supramolecular mimetic approaches with modulation of heterogeneous environment to restrict substrate orientation or access have been used. Many interesting examples of activity of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins in such systems have been reported, for example: amphiphilized metalloporphyrins in the micellar media for epoxidation of limonene (Mancini et al, 2001;Cantonetti et al, 2004), complex imbedded in a self-assembled lipid or surfactant bilayer (Groves & Neumann, 1989;Feiters et al, 2000), porphyrins appended with β-cyclodextrines (Breslow, 1997;Woggon, 2010), polyethylene glycol-modified hemin (Takahashi et al, 1986), surfactant-heme complex (Kamiya et al, 1997), association of polyoxometalates with porphyrins (Santos et al, 2005), association of monoclonal anti-porphyrin antibodies (so-cold hemoabzymes) with metalloporphyrin cofactor (Nimri & Keinan, 1999;Ricoux et al, 2007). The most promising solution to improve the stability of porphyrin catalysts is to immobilize or encapsulate in a solid, usually inorganic, matrix.…”
