Two mononuclear metal-organic complexes,[Co(Hmpdc)2(H2O)4]·4H2O 1 and [Ni(Hfmpdc)2(H2O)4]·6H2O 2,were prepared from 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid
Fe(NO_3)_3·9H_2O/Fe(HSO_4)_3 was used as an efficient reagent system for the oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds.All reactions were
