Nano-sized Mn oxides as true catalysts for alcohol oxidation by a mononuclear manganese(ii) complex†
Abstract
Herein new findings on the alcohol-oxidizing activity of a mononuclear manganese(II) complex are reported. We propose that nano-sized Mn oxides are true catalysts for the oxidation of some alcohols to aldehydes in the presence of Oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4) as an oxidant.
