Trinuclear, μ3-oxo mixed metal acetato complexes, [CoMn2(μ3-O)(MeCO2)6(py) 3] (py = pyridine) encapsulated in zeolite HY, exhibit high catalytic efficiency in the selective aerial oxidation of para-xylene to terephthalic acid; interestingly, the formation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde, the worrisome impurity in the conventional process, is suppressed significantly over these solid catalysts.
