Abstract: An efficient and selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes in high yield in the absence of a base and co-catalyst using a newly synthesized water-soluble heterobimetallic complex [CuZn(bz)₃(bpy)₂]BF₄ has been developed. No appreciable reduction in aldehyde yield occurred even after five recycles.
