{[Cu3Lu2(ODA)(6)(H2O)(6)]center dot 10H(2)O}(n): the first heterometallic framework based on copper(II)/lutetium(III) for the catalytic oxidation of olefins and aromatic benzylic substrates

摘要

The catalytic performance of the novel framework {[Cu3Lu2(ODA)(6)(H2O)(6)]center dot 10H(2)O}(n) was tested in the oxidation of alkenes and benzylic hydrocarbons, using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and molecular oxygen (O-2) as oxidants. Excellent conversions were obtained with O-2 under solvent-free conditions, in the absence of a co-catalyst, for cyclohexene (95%) and for cumene (91%).
