Description:
Article Copper-exchanged zeolites with mordenite structure can mimic the active sites in particulate methane monooxygenase. Here, the authors show that mordenite micropores can stabilize trinuclear copper-oxo clusters that exhibit a high reactivity towards activation of carbon–hydrogen bonds in methane.
