Metal complexes that mimic the active site of monooxygenase enzymes and convert carbon-hydrogen bonds to carbon-hydroxyl in the presence of a monooxygen transfer reagent are called biomimetic catalysts. Studies concerning the activation of methane, ethane, propane, and cyclohexane to their respective alcohols with biomimetic catalysts that encompass manganese supramolecule porphyrins and open-faced porphyrins, manganese non-porphyrin tri and tetranuclear clusters and a mononuclear manganese-substituted Keggin ion in the presence of monooxygen transfer reagents such as iodosylbenzene and t-butyl hydroperoxide will be discussed. 6 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
