How water affects aldehyde oxidation

Although water is a copiously studied solvent, its role in mediating gas phase reactions remains uncertain and hard to determine precisely. Neeman et al. reexamined a previous report that water complexation accelerates the gas phase…

Bioinspired methane oxidation in a zeolite

SummaryFundamental advances have enhanced our understanding of how to activate the very stable C–H bonds in methane (1), but its conversion into useful chemicals such as methanol through simple, cost-effective, modular processes is still an…
