Selective oxidation of benzylic C-H compounds to ketones is important for the production of a wide range of fine chemicals, and is often achieved using toxic or precious metal catalysts. Herein, we report the efficient oxidation of benzylic C-H groups in a broad range of substrates under mild conditions over a robust metal-organic framework material, MFM-170, incorporating redox-active [Cu<sub>2</sub> <sup>II</sup> (O<sub>2</sub> CR)<sub>4</sub> ] paddlewheel nodes. A comprehensive investigation ...[more]
