Supporting gold nanoparticles have shown to be extremely active for many industrially
important reactions, including oxidations. Two representative examples are the oxidation of …

Polynuclear homo-and heterometallic complexes of transition metals constitute a broad
class of coordination compounds with recognized applications in catalysis, and polymetallic …

Alkanes (main components of natural gas and oil) are rather inert compounds and their
functionalization under mild conditions, toward the synthesis of added value organic …

This work concerns recent advances (since 2005) in the oxidative functionalization of
alkanes, alkenes and ketones, under mild conditions, catalyzed by homoscorpionate tris …

This brief essay consists of a few “exciting stories” devoted to relations within a metal-
complex catalyst between a metal ion and a coordinated ligand. When, as in the case of a …

Oxidative transformations involve the conversion of organic substrates, through various
processes to obtain oxygenates such as alcohols, phenolic and carbonyl compounds which …

The development of new metal complex catalysts and efficient protocols for the mild and
selective oxidation of alkanes, arenes, olefins, alcohols, and other organic substrates is a …

This review mainly discusses the application of oxido-peroxido Molybdenum (VI) complexes
as catalysts or mediators in homogeneous or heterogeneous catalytic systems for oxidations …

Bicarbonate (HCO3–), one of the most abundant anions in fresh water, is relatively nontoxic
and cheap. In this work, the degradation of organic dyes with simple copper (II) ions as the …

The application of environmentally benign, cheap, and economically viable oxidation
procedures is a key challenge of homogeneous, oxidative alkane functionalization. The …
