Hydrocarbons, especially saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), are the main constituents of oil
and natural gas, the feedstocks for chemical industry. Therefore, it is obvious that …

Many efforts have been made to develop new catalysts to oxidize cyclohexane under mild
conditions. Herein, we review the most interesting systems for this process with different …

This review describes examples of remarkable acceleration of metal-catalyzed oxidation
reactions by certain additives. In some cases, reactions proceed 2 or 10 times more rapidly …

This review describes new reactions catalyzed by recently discovered types of metal
complexes and catalytic systems (catalyst+ co-catalyst). Works of recent years (mainly 2010 …

Oxaziridines constitute a subset of a class of versatile oxidants whose characteristic feature
is the presence of two electronegative heteroatoms within a strained three-membered ring …

This brief review describes recent findings by the author and his co-workers in the field of
catalytic systems for the oxidation of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons with molecular …

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 …

Various combinations of vanadium derivatives (n-Bu4NVO3 is the best catalyst) with
pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (PCA) catalyse the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons, RH, with …

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 …

A convenient and efficient application of heterogeneous methylrhenium trioxide (MTO)
systems for the selective oxidation of lignin model compounds and lignins is reported …
