Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chlorine dioxide radical (ClO2) was found to act as an efficient oxidizing agent in the aerobic oxygenation of methane to methanol and formic acid under photoirradiation. Photochemical oxygenation of methane occurred in a two-phase system comprising perfluorohexane and water under ambient conditions (298 K, 1 atm). The yields of methanol and formic acid were 14% and 85%, respectively, with a methane conversion of 99% without formation of the further oxygenated products such as CO2 and CO. Ethane was also photochemically converted into ethanol (19%) and acetic acid (78%). The methane oxygenation is initiated by the photochemical Cl-O bond cleavage of ClO2 to generate Cl and O2. The produced Cl reacts with CH4 to form a methyl radical (CH3). Finally, the oxygenated products such as methanol and formic acid were given by the radical chain reaction.
