The role of isolated active centres in high-performance bioinspired selective oxidation catalysts.
Transition-metal complexes containing amino acids encapsulated within solid supports generate isolated active centres that function as effective selective oxidation catalysts using benign oxidants such as air and display high turnovers and selectivity in industrially significant oxidation reactions.
