Molybdenum complexes with a μ-O{MoO2}2 core: their synthesis, crystal structure and application as catalysts for the oxidation of bicyclic alcohols using N-based additives

Abstract

Binuclear molybdenum(vi) complexes with a μ-O{MoO2}2 core as catalysts for the oxidation of bicyclic alcohols (fenchyl alcohol and isoborneol), using 30% H2O2 as the oxidant in the presence of NEt3 as the additive, are reported.
