Abstract

Abstract : Boron silicate (BS) with a chabazite framework structure was synthesized and ion-exchanged with copper to form Cu-BS which was capable of oxidizing methane to methoxy species. Abstract : Boron silicate (BS) with a chabazite framework structure was synthesised using a direct route and rigorously characterized before it was ion-exchanged with copper to form Cu-BS. Employing in situ infrared spectroscopy, we show that Cu-BS is capable of oxidising methane to methoxy species and methanol interacts with the boron sites without deprotonation.
