Poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and mesoporous molecular sieve Al-MCM-41 with Si/Al = 20 were used as supports for the encapsulation of bulky iron(III)-5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (Fe-TPyP). Metalloporphyrin of Fe(III) was encapsulated inside the mesopores of Al-MCM-41 by a process of sequen...
