Catalytic Oxidation (4th World Congress on Oxidation Catalysis, Potsdam, Germany, September 2001)

This paper presents an overview of the plenary lectures and some of the oral and poster presentations at the 4th International Congress on Oxidation Catalysis in Potsdam (Germany). The main topics were the partial oxidation of alkanes and the oxidation of olefins by H₂O₂. Considerable attention is given to the use of modern physical methods in the mechanistic studies of oxidation catalysis and in the studies of catalyst structures.
