A Simplified Model for Catalyzed Isobutane Autoxidation - Implications for the Mechanism of Catalysis by Halogenated Porphyrin Complexes
A simple kinetic model shows that a radical-chain mechanism can account for the high activity and selectivity found for oxidation of isobutane to t-butanol catalyzed by highly halogenated metalloporphyrins.
