Uranyl ion sensitised photooxidation of alkanes

The focus of this work is on the development of strategies to use a transition-metal complex as a photocatalytic agent to activate/transform low molecular weight alkanes into oxygen-containing substances, mainly alcohols and ketones. In this work, cyclic, branched and straight chain materials have b...
