The metal complex catalysis with participation of unsaturated hydrocarbons gains great interest because of ecological aspect and a possibility of re-using of the catalyst. It has a number of advantages in comparison with a heterogeneous catalysis, such as high activity and selectivity, low temperatures of reaction and pressure. A palladium-polyvinylpyrrolidone complex was synthesized and characterized by potentiometry, conductometry, mass-, and IR-spectroscopy. The complex was tested for catalytic activity in reaction of octene-1 oxidation by inorganic oxidizers (KIO4, NaBrO3, Na2S2O8, K2S2O8) in dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide under mild conditions. The reaction product was octanone-2, obtained in good yield (80-98 %) and characterized by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The catalysts can be easily recycled five consecutive runs without significant loss of catalytic efficiency. The use of different surface analysis techniques, such as: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), led to a better understanding of the polymer promoting effect.
