Cultivating hybrids: The synthesis of new hybrid aerobic oxidation catalysts that include an oxygen-activating motif and a hydroquinone is reported. These hybrid catalysts proved to be efficient for the aerobic reoxidation of palladium and ruthenium catalysts in a set of test oxidations (see graphic).
