The encapsulated complexes abbreviated here as CuL-Y, MnL-Y and VOL-Y catalyze the oxidation of various olefins using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant in good yield (α-methyl styrene: 75%). The catalytic activity of the encapsulated Schiff base complexes decreased in the order CuL-Y > VOL-Y > MnL-Y. %U https://www.inorgchemres.org/article_111251_4c5fccbccffe95a8e66031a2652ec41c.pdf
