This work reports on the capability of the O2-activated Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-MOR zeolites to selectively convert methane into methanol at a temperature of 398 K. A strong correlation between (i) the activity and (ii) the intensity of the 22 700 cm-1 UV-vis band, assigned to the bis(mu-oxo)dicopper core, is found (i) as a function of the reaction temperature, (ii) as a function of the Cu loading of the zeolite, and (iii) in comparison to other Cu materials. These three lines of evidence firmly support the key role of the bis(mu-oxo)dicopper core in this selective, low-temperature hydroxylation of methane.
这项工作报道了O₂活化的Cu-ZSM-5和Cu-MOR沸石在398K温度下将甲烷选择性转化为甲醇的能力。发现(i)活性与(ii)归属于双(μ-氧)二铜核的22700cm⁻¹紫外可见吸收带强度之间存在强相关性,(i)作为反应温度的函数,(ii)作为沸石中铜负载量的函数,以及(iii)与其他铜材料相比。这三条证据有力地支持了双(μ-氧)二铜核在这种甲烷选择性低温羟基化反应中的关键作用。
