The carbon homoscorpionate iron(II) complex is the first one of this class to be used as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols.engCyclohexane oxidationHydrogen-peroxideAerobic oxidationComplexesXPSRadicalsFEHighly efficient and reusable CNT supported iron(II) catalyst for microwave assisted alcohol oxidationjournal article10.1039/c6dt00514d
