Catalytic Performance of Ceria Nanorods in Liquid-Phase Oxidations of Hydrocarbons with tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide

Catalytic Performance of Ceria Nanorods in Liquid-Phase Oxidations of Hydrocarbons with tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide

The CeO2 nanorods (CeNR) promote the oxidation of ethylbenzene (PhEt) and cyclohexene with t-BuOOH, at temperatures as low as 55 ºC. For both substrates the saturated C-H bonds are preferentially activated over the unsaturated ones. The catalyst seems fairly stable towards leaching phenomena. The li...
