title: Oxidation of cycloalkanes by H2O2 using a copper-hemicryptophane complex as a catalyst.
abstract: Efficient alkane C-H bond oxidation was achieved using a newly designed Cu(II)-hemicryptophane complex. Protection of the copper site in the inner cavity of the host leads to enhanced yields and allows discriminating cyclohexane from cyclooctane or adamantane in competitive experiments.
