New silica-immobilized iron(III) porphyrin systems possessing monooxygenase activity in aniline oxidation to p-aminophenol, have been found. The catalytic activity depends on both the porphyrin structure and coordination by an axial ligand. The maximum activity in this reaction is observed for imidazol-coordinated hemin. The hydroxylation in the above system is shown to follow a non-radical mechanism.
