Transition metal complexes are known to be efficient catalyst for many organic transformations.Encapsulation of metal complexes in zeolite cage brings many significant modifications in the structureof the metal complexes, which are very interesting from the catalytic point of view. This study aims ina comparative evaluation of the influence of structure of neat and encapsulated complexes in theircatalytic activity. Phenol is one of the major industrial pollutants. Heterogenizing transition metalSchiff bases by encapsulation inside the zeolite would help to minimize the reuse problem of transitionmetal complexes. This article deals with the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity studies ofCo(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde with ethylenediamine(L1) and an o-phenylene diamine (L2).
