Magnetically recoverable MFe12O19 nanoparticles as efficient and environmentally benign catalysts for gram-scale selective oxidation of olefins
Advanced characterizations of three magnetically recoverable MFe12O19 (M = Cu, Sn and Sr) MNPs revealed that SnFe12O19 and CuFe12O19 are not isostructural with SrFe12O19 M-type hexaferrite, due to confirmed coexistence of SnO2–Fe2O3 and CuFe2O4–Fe2O3.
