A new paper from Yicheng Zhang, titled "Cyclohexane Oxidation: Small Organic Molecule as Catalyst", was accepted by Chinese Journal of Catalysis.

    N or O containing small organic molecules are used as catalyst in cyclohexane oxidation reaction. The polarity, the α-H activity, the strength of hydrogen bond formed with cyclohexane and the radical scavenging capability of these molecules codetermine the catalytic activity.
