Abstract

Substitution of transition metals into the framework of mol- ecular sieves has led to a burst of activity in the use of these compounds as 'stable' catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocar- bons. Most frequently, hydrogen peroxide is used as oxidant, but the use of other peroxidic compounds and also molecular oxygen has been reported. A special challenge is the oxidation of alkanes due to their extremely low reactivity. Titanium- substituted silicalite- 1, TS- 1, was found ...
