The selective oxidation of alcohols to carbonyls is an important reaction in the fine chemical industry. Unfortunately, current methods employ oxidants which create toxic by-products and result in high economic costs of recycling and disposal. Our research involves the rational design of novel catalytic materials which could substitute traditional methods.
