Abstract

The selective transformation of methane into more reactive molecules, considered to be one of the “holy grails” of chemistry,[1] lies at the heart of our understanding of chemical reactivity and has potentially far-reaching practical implications. The challenge in achieving this transformation arises from the low reactivity of methane.[2] An economically feasible process for C¿ H activation is not available, but is highly desirable owing to the abundance of ...
