The oxidative carbonylation of CH 4 with CO and O 2 to CH 3 COOH under mild conditions is an attractive and environmentally friendly route for CH 4 utilization. However, this process involves ...

Under moderate circumstances, oxidative carbonylation of CH 4 with carbonic oxide (CO) and oxygen (O 2) to CH 3 COOH is a desirable and ecologically acceptable method of using CH 4. However ...

Strongly donating ligands tend to promote oxidative addition and retard migratory CO insertion, whereas sterically bulky ligands tend to have the opposite effects on these steps.[4] In a recent study ...
