Enhancing the catalytic activity of supported metal nanoparticle is a great demand but extremely challenging to make. We reported a simple strategy for enhancing the activities by employing the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) additive, where a series of supported Au nanoparticle catalysts including Au/C, Au/BN, Au/TiO2, and Au/SBA-15 exhibited significantly higher activities in the oxidation of various alcohols and carbon monoxide by molecular oxygen after adding PVP to the reaction system. The XPS study indicates that PVP could electronically interact with Au to form high active Au sites for molecular oxygen, thus causing improved activities for the various oxidation reactions.

<p>Oxidation reactions are fundamental transformations in organic synthesis and chemical industry. With oxygen or air as terminal oxidant, aerobic oxidation catalysis provides the most sustainable and economic oxidation processes. Most aerobic oxidation catalysis employs redox metal as its active center. While nature provides non-redox metal strategy as in pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent methanol dehydrogenases (MDH), such an effective chemical version is unknown. Inspired by the recently discovered rare earth metal-dependent enzyme Ln-MDH, here we show that an open-shell semi-quinone anionic radical species in complexing with lanthanum could serve as a very efficient aerobic oxidation catalyst under ambient conditions. In this catalyst, the lanthanum metal serves only as a Lewis acid promoter and the redox process occurs exclusively on the semiquinone ligand. The catalysis is initiated by 1e<sup>-</sup>-reduction of lanthanum-activated <i>ortho</i>-quinone to a semiquinone-lanthanum complex La(<b>SQ<sup>-.</sup></b>)<sub>2</sub>, which undergoes a coupled O-H/C-H dehydrogenation for aerobic oxidation of alcohols with up to 330 h<sup>-1</sup> TOF. This study suggests a possible functional mode of semiquinone radicals, widely observed with quinoproteins in Nature. Moreover, this unique reductive activation strategy as well as the resulted radical anion as redox ligand creates a new turning point in the development of efficient aerobic oxidation catalysis.</p>

Cobalt(ii) perfluorooctane sulfonate (Co(OPf)2) acts as a novel homogeneous pre-catalyst for the oxidation of various types of alcohols to carbonyl compounds under atmospheric pressure of molecular oxygen in fluorous biphasic systems. By simple separation of the fluorous phase, which contains only pre-catalyst, the reaction can be repeated several times.

Selective oxidation reactions are challenging when carried out on an industrial scale. Many traditional methods are undesirable from an environmental or safety point of view. There is a need to develop sustainable catalytic approaches that use molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant. This review will discuss recent advances in the use of stable radicals in aerobic oxidation catalysis.

The first example of an iron(iii)-based heterogeneous catalyst for alcohol oxidation reactions in water employing molecular oxygen has been reported. Interestingly, the immobilized catalyst shows superior activity over its homogeneous counterpart.
