The cobalt redox centers generate hydroxylamine in situ from ammonia and air. After hydroxylamine and cyclohexanone form the intermediate oxime, the acidic centers nudge the Beckmann rearrangement along via acid catalysis. The nanoporous nature of the catalyst allows products and reactants to move freely throughout the system
