Tunable Porphyrin Cage Based on Designed Electric Field for Methane Capture and Oxidation

Methane is a generic chemical feedstock, and its conversion to methanol can provide an alternative fuel. We herein provide a first-principles-based strategy for designing a catalyst that operates in a synchronized catalytic cycle and efficiently converts methane into methanol. In so doing, we designed an earlier, exp...
