title: Solvent-free aerobic oxidation of n-alkane by iron(III)-substituted polyoxotungstates immobilized on SBA-15.
abstract: The tetrairon(III)-substituted polytungstates [Fe(4)(H(2)O)(10)(beta-XW(9)O(33))(2)](n-) (n = 6, X = As(III), Sb(III); n = 4, X = Se(IV), Te(IV)) were immobilized on (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane-modified SBA-15 and showed an excellent catalytic performance for solvent-free aerobic oxidation of long-chain n-alkanes using air as the oxidant under ambient conditions through a classical free-radical chain autoxidation mechanism.
