Subprogramme 2: Oxidation Catalysis
this subprogramme focuses on
-
oxidation reactions by redox active earth-abundant metals (Mn²⁺ᐟ³⁺, Fe²⁺ᐟ³⁺, Co²⁺ᐟ³⁺, Ni²⁺ᐟ³⁺, Cu⁺ᐟ²⁺),
-
to create a simple, green, and inexpensive catalytic process,
-
for which we test different oxidants (e.g., O₂, H₂O₂) and solvents.
