This research aims to understand the catalytic oxidation reaction of cyclohexene using Tetraphenyl Porphyrinato VO(IV) as a catalyst. The objectives are to identify and characterize reaction intermediates through spectroscopy, revealing the catalyst's role in their formation and transformation, and to study the kinetics of the reaction, uncovering the rate and mechanistic intricacies of the oxidation process. The methodology involves rigorous preparation and storage of materials and reagents, using advanced instrumentation setups like a high-resolution UV-Vis spectrophotometer and a finely tuned NMR spectrometer. Sample preparation is executed under controlled conditions, allowing for systematic variation of temperature and concentration during cyclohexene oxidation reactions. Spectroscopic analysis involves recording UV-Vis spectra, monitoring absorbance changes, and identifying spectral features indicative of reaction intermediates. Kinetic studies scrutinize changes in reactant concentrations over time, while isotopic labeling experiments and computational chemistry methods like density functional theory (DFT) provide mechanistic insights. The hypothetical data generated presents significant findings, including first-order kinetics and continuous product formation
