Synthesis of hetero binuclear macrocyclic CoV complex bonded to chemically modified alumina support for oxidation of cyclohexane using oxygen

A binuclear macrocyclic complex CoIIVIVL2+ bonded to carbamate-modified alumina is used as a catalyst for oxidation of cyclohexane. The catalyst was thermally stable up to 251 °C. The products formed were cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol without any isomerization or cracking products.
