Electronic state and three-dimensional structure of Mn(III) active sites in manganese-containing aluminophosphate molecular sieve catalysts for the oxyfunctionalisation of alkanes.
Combined in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements and quantum mechanical calculations yield a quantitative three-dimensional structure of the tetrahedrally coordinated Mn(III) active sites in MnAlPO catalysts.
