Tailored pore-confined single-site iron(III) catalyst for selective CH4 oxidation to CH3OH or CH3CO2H using O2

The direct conversion of methane into methanol and acetic acid offers a sustainable pathway for producing high-value chemicals. We achieve this transformation by harnessing a multifunctional iron(III) dihydroxyl catalytic species within a MOF framework, using molecular oxygen as the oxidant.
