Significance

Iron oxide coated platinum nano­wires (Pt@Fe2O3 NWs) 1 bearing a one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure were prepared by the oxygen oxidation of PtFex NWs in oleylamine. The diameter of the PtFex NWs was ca. 1.9 nm, and that of Pt@Fe2O3 NWs 1 increased to be approximately 2.8 nm. Their length was several micro­meters. Catalyst 1 was applied to the oxidation of olefins and alcohols to afford the corresponding aldehydes and ketones 2-11 in up to 93% yield.
