title: Selective hydroxylation of benzene derivatives and alkanes with hydrogen peroxide catalysed by a manganese complex incorporated into mesoporous silica-alumina.
abstract: Selective hydroxylation of benzene derivatives and alkanes to the corresponding phenol and alcohol derivatives with hydrogen peroxide was efficiently catalysed by a manganese tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa) complex ([(tpa)Mn(II)](2+)) incorporated into mesoporous silica-alumina with highly acidic surfaces in contrast to the reactions in a homogeneous solution where [(tpa)Mn(II)](2+) was converted catalytically to a much less active bis(μ-oxo)dimanganese(III,IV) complex.
