The iron revolution : Highly active and stable iron nanoparticles have been prepared on a range of supports using a facile and environmentally friendly microwave approach. The inexpensive metallic iron nanoparticles were found to be extremely active and selective in the oxidation of various alcohols, achieving excellent turnover numbers. Fe/MCM‐41 was found to be highly reusable, preserving and even slightly increasing its activity after several uses.
