FluoRuGel: a versatile catalyst for aerobic alcohol oxidation in supercritical carbon dioxide.
FluoRuGel--a hybrid fluorinated silica glass doped with TPAP (tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate)--is a versatile catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of different alcohols in dense phase CO(2) with marked stabilization and activity enhancement of perruthenate upon its confinement in the sol-gel fluorinated silica matrix. A brief competitive analysis shows large potential rewards.
