Selective Oxidations of Linear Alkanes with Molecular Oxygen on Molecular Sieve Catalysts—A Breakthrough?

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Cobalt- and manganese-containing aluminophosphates with AEI-type structures (AlPO4-18) allow the selective oxidation of linear alkanes with air in the liquid phase under mild reaction conditions (for example, Reaction (1), which proceeds with 7 % conversion and 54 % selectivity). These offer new perspectives for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons with O2 in the liquid phase.
