Abstract A copper(II)–nickel(II)-based catalyst system has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, mass spectra, magnetic moment, EPR, UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The structure of the complex was established by X-ray crystallography. The complex is an efficient catalyst, which oxidizes primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones at 70 °C employing 15% H2O2 as the oxidant in the absence of a base and co-catalyst.
