Effect of axial azide on the selective, low temperature metalloporphyrin-catalysed reactions of isobutane with molecular oxygen
Abstract
Azido(tetraphenylporphyrinato) complexes of CrIII, MnIII, and FeIII catalyse selective, low temperature hydroxylation of isobutane with molecular oxygen and provide many turnovers in the absence of added co-reductants.
