Oxidation of C-H compounds with peroxides catalyzed by polynuclear transition metal complexes in Si- or Ge-sesquioxane frameworks: AÂ review

Certain polynuclear transition metal complexes in Si- or Ge-sesquioxane frameworks synthesized in recent years are very efficient catalysts in oxidation of organic compounds (alkanes, benzene and alcohols) with peroxides: H2O2, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA).449
