Abstract
The Cover Feature shows the monomeric iron on MFI zeolite as an efficient catalyst for the oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols, while the oligomeric/bulk iron species lack activity. In their Full Paper, E. Saraçi and co-workers explore the Fe/MFI catalysts for the oxidative cleavage of ethylene glycol. Further vicinal diols, often found in biomass, where also tested. The iron species present were correlated with corresponding reaction rates revealing that monomeric Fe species inside zeolite MFI were responsible for the oxidative cleavage of C–C bonds of vicinal diols. The recyclability of the catalyst and reaction mechanism were also studied. More information can be found in the Full Paper by E. Saraçi and co-workers.
