The hydrogeneous catalysts of manganese and cobalt ions in deep oxidat
ion of aliphatic hydrocarbons in liquid phase have been studied. Zeoli
tes 13X and copolymers of maleic anhydride - terpenes (limonene beta-p
inene) were the carriers of Mn(II) and Co(II) ions. The ratio of liqui
d phase oxidation of paraffins and n-hexadecane catalyzed by Co(II), M
n(II)ions on polymeric complexes or zeolites 13X was observed. Accordi
ng to the experimental data, the oxygen content in the hydrocarbon cha
in depends on the metal ion matrix structure.
