Carboxylic acid-modified metal oxide catalyst for selectivity-tunable aerobic ammoxidation

Precisely controlling the surface properties of base-metal oxide catalysts to tune the reaction selectivity remains a challenge. Here, the authors show that a green modification of manganese oxide surface with carboxylates can be used to tune the ammoxidation selectivity toward the desired products.
