developing catalysts to harness the abundant natural supply of methane for various industrial applications. Two tricopper complexes capable of mediating efficient oxidation of methane to methanol under ambient conditions were tested: a biomimetic tricopper complex (see figure) and a tricopper‐peptide species derived from the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) protein.
吨铜的乐趣:开发催化剂以利用丰富的自然甲烷供应用于各种工业应用,这引起了人们的极大兴趣。测试了两种能够在环境条件下将甲烷有效氧化为甲醇的三铜配合物:仿生的三铜配合物(见图)和衍生自颗粒甲烷单加氧酶(pMMO)蛋白的三铜肽物种。
