Abstract

Although there have been major advances in the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons with molecular oxygen, the development of effective and selective methods for the catalytic functionalization of hydrocarbons still remains a major challenge in oxidation chemistry. In particular, selective oxidation of alkanes with dioxygen to oxygen-containing compounds such as alcohols, ketones, and carboxylic acids is a very important industrial process from ...
