and O 2 to CH 3 COOH with both high catalytic activity and selectivity for mild CH 4 conversion. In this study, the researchers showed that the active OH species, generated from O 2 photoreduction ...

A simple polyester can be made from a monomer which has two hydroxyl groups (-OH) and another monomer which has two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH).

this novel catalyst allows for a CH 3 COOH productivity of 152 μmol gcat.-1 h-1 and a turnover frequency of 62 h-1. Furthermore, the researchers discovered that the active OH species generated by ...
