Microkinetic modeling is used with experimental observations to elucidate the reaction mechanism of cis-cyclooctene oxidation with H2O2 on heterogeneous Mn-tmtacn catalysts, providing valuable information such as model-predicted data, reaction orders, and rate-determining steps for future catalyst development and optimization of the reaction conditions for tuning product selectivity.
