Abstract

Just one step: Reactivity studies demonstrate that in the gas phase [Al ₂O ₃] ^.+ clusters can efficiently conduct the direct conversion of CH ₄ into CH ₂O at room temperature (see scheme). The reaction mechanism is highly complex involving oxygen-atom transfer and a double hydrogen-atom transfer.
