Abstract

CH₄ conversion is one of the most challenging chemical reactions due to its inertness in terms of physical and chemical properties. We have achieved photo-induced C–H bond breaking of CH₄ and successive C–O bond formation to form CH₃OH concomitant with HCHO by an organometallic Ru complex with O₂.
