Abstract

Cobalt-and manganese-substituted ferrites were used as heterogeneous catalysts for liquid- phase aerobic oxidation of various monoterpenic alkenes. The materials were prepared by co-precipitation and characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry, magnetization measurements, and elemental analysis. The results show that isomorphic substitution of iron in the ferrite crystalline structure occurred preferentially at octahedral ...
