Abstract
Methane to methanol conversion presents one of the most challenging targets in catalysis. Recently, it was demonstrated that an iron- and copper-containing MFI-type zeolite is able to catalytically convert methane to methanol in an aqueous solvent at selectivities above 90 % by using H2O2 as the terminal oxidant. To facilitate understanding of the precise roles of the catalyst and the full mechanistic cycle, C. Hammond, G. J. Hutchings et al. present an in-depth study of the kinetic parameters and mechanistic features of this system in their Full Paper on page 15735 ff. The catalytic system in question results in a low-energy methane activation route, and allows selective C1-oxidation to occur under mild reaction conditions
