Homogeneous and heterogenised new gold C-scorpionate complexes as catalysts for cyclohexane oxidationElectronic Supplementary Information (ESI) available: solid state molecular structure of (H2pz)[AuCl4], the hydrolysis product of 1 (Fig. SI1); temperature programmed desorption profiles of carbon xerogel (Fig. SI2) and activated carbon (Fig. SI3) with different surface treatments; heterogenization UV-vis profiles of gold Au C-scorpionate and carbon materials (Fig. SI4-SI30); dependence of the tu

Gold( iii ) complexes of type [AuCl 2 {η 2 -RC(R′pz) 3 }]Cl [R = R′ = H ( 1 ), R = CH 2 OH, R′ = H ( 2 ) and R = H, R′ = 3,5-Me 2 ( 3 ), pz = pyrazol-1-yl] were supported on carbon materials (activated carbon, carbon xerogel and carbon nanotubes) and used for the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, with aqueous H 2 O 2 , under mild conditions. Gold C-scorpionate complexes were supported on carbon materials and used for the oxidation of cyclohexane under mild conditions.
