Abstract
A chain-like Fe3+ species containing an Fe–O–Fe unit has been prepared within the interlayer space of a montmorillonite, which showed a very high catalytic activity (turnover frequency 386 h−1 and turnover number 23 200) for the oxidation of cyclohexane with H2O2, affording cyclohexyl hydroperoxide as a major product.
