The influence of the coordination properties of metals on the activity of binary catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexane

Oxidation processes are one of the groups that play a key role in the modern chemical industry. Oxidation processes usually  are carried out under industrial conditions in the gas phase using heterogeneous catalysts and in the liquid phase using homogeneous catalysts.

The catalyst in any industrial process can be used under the condition that it meets the requirements for activity and selectivity. The cost of raw materials and energy for its production, environmental protection, and utilization of production waste plays a significant role.

This work's main aim was to define the dependencies of efficiency of organic modifiers from the nature of metal in the main catalytic salt. Defining those dependencies will allow us to create a binary catalytic system on the basis of variable valency metal compound [CVVM] and salt of perfluoric sulfur acid [SPSA], with activity and selectivity higher than for industrial catalysts for the oxidation process.
