✦ Synopsis

Hydroxylation of Alkanes by Molecular Oxygen with Dinuclear Fe(II) Macrocyclic Complexes as Catalysts. -The 24-membered macrocyclic iron complex, RBP, is found to be a better catalyst for the oxidation of alkanes (I) and (IV) than the 30-membered macrocycle RBB. H 2 S acts as 2-electron reductant. -(WANG, Z.;
