WFeCoO(OH) displayed a 40% conversion of cyclohexane and a 67% selectivity to AA under relatively milder conditions of temperature (90 degrees C) and pressure (1 atm). Experimental evidence confirmed the presence of acidic, basic, and redox sites on WFeCoO(OH). The detailed investigation revealed that doping W in the Co-FeO(OH) matrix increased the amount of surface lattice oxygen (OS-L) and caused a significant surge in acidity (5.1 mmol/g). The calculated deprotonation energy of WFeCoO(OH) was 1434 kJ/mol, and the trend in acidity was WCoO(OH) &lt; WFeCoO(OH) &lt; FeCoO(OH) similar to CoO(OH). Energy calculations showed that WFeCoO(OH) had a high propensity to generate oxygen vacancies by the loss of either a water molecule or an oxygen atom (-132.2 or -140.9 kJ/mol, respectively). Basicity was generated due to the presence of conjugate pairs of the surface hydroxyl groups. The combined action of the trifunctional acidic, basic, and redox-active metal centers along with the oxygen vacancies was responsible for the enhanced catalytic performance.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13.084</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
