Role of catalytic nitrile decomposition in tricopper complex mediated direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol

Abstract Synthetic homogeneous system known to date performing methane to methanol conversion using O2 as terminal oxidant is unique and based on copper complex with piperazine-based ligand (Cu3L in Fig. 1) in a medium of acetonitrile. Prior work have shown that in order to achieve catalytic turnove...
