Abstract

The selective oxidation and functionalization of alkanes under mild conditions is an exciting scientific and economic goal. 3 Although much of the research has focused on oxidations catalyzed by metalloporphyrins (putative cytochrome P450 mimics), there is a growing interest in catalysis by other types of metal complexes. Notably, Que and co-workers4 have characterized some non-heme iron catalysts with tripodal tris-(pyridinylmethy1) amine ( ...
