Synthesis of Bimagnetic Ionic Liquid and Application for Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols under Mild Conditions.

The first bimagnetic ionic liquid based on Fe and TEMPO with cooperative functionalities not only exhibited strong paramagnetic behaviour at room temperature under an applied magnetic field of 5000 Oe but also proved to be an effective catalyst for selective aerobic oxidation of aromatic alcohols under mild and clean conditions.
