Vibrational spectroscopy of intermediates of carbon-hydrogen bond activation by transition metal oxide cations
Direct, efficient oxidation of alkanes is a long-standing goal of catalysis. Gas phase FeO+ can convert methane to methanol and benzene to phenol under thermal conditions. Two key intermediates of these reactions are the [HO-Fe-R]+ insertion intermediate and Fe+(ROH) (R=CH3 or C6H5) exit channel com...
