The oxidation of organic substrates is of fundamental importance in nature and includes key
transformations in organic synthesis and industry. Dioxygen (O2) is potentially the greenest …

Acid activation of clay minerals is one of the most effective methods proposed to produce
materials with increased acidity and adsorption properties. In this work fine fraction of …

A new nanocomposite (FeW11V@ CTAB‐MMT) was designed on the basis of vanadium‐
substituted tungstoferrate (FeW11V) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide‐modified …

An iron complex with a tetraamido macrocyclic ligand,[(TAML) FeIII]−, was found to be an
efficient and selective catalyst for allylic oxidation of cyclohexene by dioxygen (O2); cyclohex …

The book provides insight into the working of clays and clay minerals in speeding up a
variety of organic reactions. Clay minerals are known to have a large propensity for taking …

Ruthenium-doped H-Montmorillonite (H-Mont) and Ti-pillared clay (Ti-PILC) were prepared
then studied for oxidation of cyclohexene, with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as the …

The Pt-containing commercial mordenite catalyst that was synthesized having different Si/Al
