Abstract
The highly reactive binuclear [Cu2O]2+ active site in copper zeolites activates the inert C-H bond of methane at low temperatures, offering a potential solution to reduce methane flaring and mitigate atmospheric methane levels. While substantial progress has been made in understanding the activation of methane by this core, one critical aspect, the active site's spin, has remained undetermined. In this study, we use variable-temperature, variable-field magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy to define the ground state spin of the [Cu2O]2+ active sites in Cu-CHA and Cu-MFI. This novel approach allows for site-selective determination of the magnetic exchange coupling between the two copper centers of specific [Cu2O]2+ cores in a heterogeneous mixture, circumventing the drawbacks of bulk magnetic techniques. These experimental findings are coupled to density functional theory calculations to elucidate magnetostructural correlations in copper zeolites that are different from those of homogeneous binuclear Cu(II) complexes. The different spin states for the [Cu2O]2+ cores have different reactivities governed by how methane approaches the active site. This introduces a new understanding of zeolite topological control on active site reactivity.

Abstract
The partial oxidation of methane to methanol catalyzed by Cu-exchanged zeolites involves at present a three-step procedure that requires changing reaction conditions along the catalytic cycle. In this work we present an alternative catalytic cycle for selective methane conversion to methanol using as active species small Cu5 clusters supported on CHA zeolite. Periodic DFT calculations show that molecular O2 is easily activated on Cu5 clusters producing bi-coordinated O atoms able to dissociate homolytically a CH bond from CH4 and to react with the radical-like non-adsorbed methyl intermediate formed producing methanol, while competitive overoxidation to CO2 is energetically disfavored. The present mechanistic study opens a new avenue to design catalytic materials based on their ability to stabilize radical species.

Abstract
The continuous catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol on a Cu-KFI zeolite using water-O2 mixture as the oxidant is reported. A high methanol space-time yield of 880.3 mmol molCu-1 h-1 with 83% selectivity is achieved at 450 °C. Isotopic labelling experiments show that both H2O and O2 provide the oxygen source in this catalytic methane-to-methanol conversion reaction.

Abstract
The direct oxidation of methane to methanol (MTM) remains a significant challenge in heterogeneous catalysis due to the high dissociation energy of the C-H bond in methane and the high desorption energy of methanol. In this work, we demonstrate a breakthrough in selective MTM by achieving a high methanol space-time yield of 2678 mmol molCu-1 h-1 with 93% selectivity in a continuous methane-steam reaction at 400 °C. The superior performance is attributed to the confinement effect of 6-membered ring (6MR) voids in SSZ-13 zeolite, which host isolated Cu-OH single sites. Our results provide a deeper understanding of the role of Cu-zeolites in continuous methane-steam to methanol conversion and pave the way for further improvement.

Abstract
Approaching the level of molecular recognition of enzymes with solid catalysts is a challenging goal, achieved in this work for the competing transalkylation and disproportionation of diethylbenzene catalyzed by acid zeolites. The key diaryl intermediates for the two competing reactions only differ in the number of ethyl substituents in the aromatic rings, and therefore finding a selective zeolite able to recognize this subtle difference requires an accurate balance of the stabilization of reaction intermediates and transition states inside the zeolite microporous voids. In this work we present a computational methodology that, by combining a fast high-throughput screeening of all zeolite structures able to stabilize the key intermediates with a more computationally demanding mechanistic study only on the most promising candidates, guides the selection of the zeolite structures to be synthesized. The methodology presented is validated experimentally and allows to go beyond the conventional criteria of zeolite shape-selectivity.

Abstract
Copper decorated zeolites are promising candidates for the partial oxidation of methane to generate methanol with elevated energy density, nevertheless, the modulation and possible synergism between multiple Cu active sites still need to be delved in depth. Here, ZSM-5 catalysts with modulated Cu motifs were proposed using copper oxysalts as precursors through a calcination process. By modifying the contents of copper oxysalts precursors, the Cu active sites varied, and a unique M shaped trend of CH3OH productivity emerged. Attributed to the synergetic effects of CuxOy nanoparticles (adsorbing CH4 and generating *OCH3 species) and Cu-OH motif (binding CH4 and forming Si···CH3), a maximum CH3OH yield of 15975.73 μmol/gcat/h (with CH3OOH yield of 2155.59 μmol/gcat/h) and methyl oxygenates selectivity up to 72.79 % could be achieved. This work paved an efficient, low cost, and succinct way for the manufacture of catalysts with tunable active sites and high performance over methane to methanol conversion.

Abstract
A computational investigation of the catalytic reaction on multinuclear sites is very challenging. Here, using an automated reaction route mapping method, the single-component artificial force induced reaction (SC-AFIR) algorithm, the catalytic reaction of NO and OH/OOH species over the Ag42+ cluster in a zeolite is investigated. The results of the reaction route mapping for H2 + O2 reveal that OH and OOH species are formed over the Ag42+ cluster via an activation barrier lower than that of OH formation from H2O dissociation. Then, reaction route mapping is performed to examine the reactivity of the OH and OOH species with NO molecules over the Ag42+ cluster, resulting in the facile reaction path of HONO formation. With the aid of the automated reaction route mapping, the promotion effect of H2 addition on the SCR reaction was computationally proposed (boosting the formation of OH and OOH species). In addition, the present study emphasizes that automated reaction route mapping is a powerful tool to elucidate the complicated reaction pathway on multi-nuclear clusters.

Abstract
The catalytic properties of sub-nanometer Cun clusters are modified by interactions with inorganic supports used for their stabilization. In this work, the reactivity towards O2 dissociation of Cu5 and Cu7 clusters confined within the cavities of the CHA zeolite is theoretically investigated by means of periodic DFT calculations. Increasing the Al content in the zeolite framework not only modifies the cluster morphology, but also leads to a decrease in the electronic density available on the supported Cun clusters, which in turn leads to higher activation energies for O2 dissociation. Together with the cluster size and shape, the Si/Al ratio in the zeolite support appears as a potential parameter to finely tune the stability and oxidation properties of Cu-based catalysts.

Abstract
The partial oxidation of methane to methanol with molecular O2 at mild reaction conditions is a challenging process, which is efficiently catalyzed in nature by enzymes. As an alternative to the extensively studied Cu-exchanged zeolites, small copper clusters composed by just a few atoms appear as potential specific catalysts for this transformation. Following previous work in our group that established that the reactivity of oxygen atoms adsorbed on copper clusters is closely linked to cluster size and morphology, we explore by means of DFT calculations the ability of bidimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) Cu5 and Cu7 clusters to oxidize partially methane to methanol. A highly selective Eley-Rideal pathway involving homolytic C-H bond dissociation and a non-adsorbed radical-like methyl intermediate is favored when bicoordinated oxygen atoms, preferentially stabilized at the edges of 2D clusters, are available. Cluster morphology arises as a key parameter determining the nature and reactivity of adsorbed oxygen atoms, opening the possibility to design efficient catalysts for partial methane oxidation based on copper clusters.

Abstract
Methane is an abundant resource and its direct conversion into value-added chemicals has been an attractive subject for its efficient utilization. This method can be more efficient than the present energy-intensive indirect conversion of methane via syngas, a mixture of CO and H2. Among the various approaches for direct methane conversion, the selective oxidation of methane into methane oxygenates (e.g., methanol and formaldehyde) is particularly promising because it can proceed at low temperatures. Nevertheless, due to low product yields this method is challenging. Compared with the liquid-phase partial oxidation of methane, which frequently demands for strong oxidizing agents in protic solvents, gas-phase selective methane oxidation has some merits, such as the possibility of using oxygen as an oxidant and the ease of scale-up owing to the use of heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, we summarize recent advances in the gas-phase partial oxidation of methane into methane oxygenates, focusing mainly on its conversion into formaldehyde and methanol.

Abstract
The gas-phase reactions of [TiAlO4]+ with methane have been explored by using FT-ICR mass spectrometry complemented by quantum chemical calculations. Interestingly, the [TiAlO4]+ ions can activate two methane molecules continuously. Moreover, in contrast to the previous reports on gas-phase methane activation by metal oxide clusters, in which hydrogen-atom transfer and/or proton-coupled electron transfer prevail, a hydride transfer process dominates the [TiAlO4]+/CH4 system. The associated electronic origins have been discussed, and such a terminal metal-oxo active center as addressed in the [TiAlO4]+ cluster has proven to be promising in the construction of efficient catalysts concerning methane conversion.

Abstract
Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as heterogeneous catalysts since the early 1960s, due to their wide variety of framework topologies, compositional flexibility and hydrothermal stability. The possible selection of the microporous structure and of the elements located in framework and extraframework positions enables the design of highly selective catalysts with well-defined active sites of acidic, basic or redox character, opening the path to their application in a wide range of catalytic processes. This versatility and high catalytic efficiency is the key factor enabling their use in the activation and conversion of different alkanes, ranging from methane to long chain n-paraffins. Alkanes are highly stable molecules, but their abundance and low cost have been two main driving forces for the development of processes directed to their upgrading over the last 50 years. However, the availability of advanced characterization tools combined with molecular modelling has enabled a more fundamental approach to the activation and conversion of alkanes, with most of the recent research being focused on the functionalization of methane and light alkanes, where their selective transformation at reasonable conversions remains, even nowadays, an important challenge. In this review, we will cover the use of microporous zeolite-type materials as components of mono- and bifunctional catalysts in the catalytic activation and conversion of C1+ alkanes under non-oxidative or oxidative conditions. In each case, the alkane activation will be approached from a fundamental perspective, with the aim of understanding, at the molecular level, the role of the active sites involved in the activation and transformation of the different molecules and the contribution of shape-selective or confinement effects imposed by the microporous structure.

Abstract
Copper-exchanged zeolites have demonstrated high selectivity in methane-to-methanol conversion carried out on copper-oxo centers. Nevertheless, the reaction can only occur if the methane molecules reach the active site while the methanol molecules must leave the material without high energetic cost for the migration. In this context, we have used force field-based molecular dynamics simulations with the potential of mean force method to estimate the energy barrier in cage to cage diffusion of methane and methanol molecules in the chabazite framework type zeolite. The results show considerably higher energy barrier for methanol diffusion. The steric effect of the active site and the electrostatic environment favors the CH3OH diffusion toward nonactive cages where it tends to accumulate due to the strong interactions with the zeolite. The same behavior is observed in the water molecules distribution, which emphasizes the control of the electrostatic potential over the polar molecules migration. For high concentration of polar molecules, the electrostatic effect is shielded and the driving force is reduced for CH3OH diffusion. The results show that if the electrostatic environment can be controlled, the product migration may be facilitated, which can improve the catalytic process.

Abstract
Dozens of Cu zeolites with MOR, FAU, BEA, FER, CHA and MFI frameworks are tested for direct oxidation of CH4 to CH3OH using H2O2 as oxidant. To investigate the active structures of the Cu zeolites, 15 structural variables, which describe the features of the zeolite framework and reflect the composition, the surface area and the local structure of the Cu zeolite active site, are collected from the Database of Zeolite Structures of the International Zeolite Association (IZA). Also analytical studies based on inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), N2 adsorption specific surface area measurement and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectral measurement are performed. The relationships between catalytic activity and the structural variables are subsequently revealed by data science techniques, specifically, classification using unsupervised and supervised machine learning and data visualization using pairwise correlation. Based on the unveiled relationships and a detailed analysis of the XAFS spectra, the local structures of the Cu zeolites with high activity are proposed.

Abstract
C1 chemistry, which is the catalytic transformation of C1 molecules including CO, CO2 , CH4 , CH3 OH, and HCOOH, plays an important role in providing energy and chemical supplies while meeting environmental requirements. Zeolites are highly efficient solid catalysts used in the chemical industry. The design and development of zeolite-based mono-, bi-, and multifunctional catalysts has led to a booming application of zeolite-based catalysts to C1 chemistry. Combining the advantages of zeolites and metallic catalytic species has promoted the catalytic production of various hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, light olefins, aromatics, and liquid fuels) and oxygenates (e.g., methanol, dimethyl ether, formic acid, and higher alcohols) from C1 molecules. The key zeolite descriptors that influence catalytic performance, such as framework topologies, nanoconfinement effects, Brønsted acidities, secondary-pore systems, particle sizes, extraframework cations and atoms, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, and proximity between acid and metallic sites are discussed to provide a deep understanding of the significance of zeolites to C1 chemistry. An outlook regarding challenges and opportunities for the conversion of C1 resources using zeolite-based catalysts to meet emerging energy and environmental demands is also presented.

This leads us to a general sketch of artificial intelligence (AI), Searle's Chinese room, and Strevens' account of what a go-playing program knows. Back to our terrain-we ask "Quantum Chemistry, † ca. 2020?" Then we move to examples of Big Data, machine learning and neural networks in action, first in chemistry and then affecting social matters, trivial to scary. We argue that moral decisions are hardly to be left to a computer. And that posited causes, even if recognized as provisional, represent a much deeper level of understanding than correlations. At this point, we try to pull the reader up, giving voice to the opposing view of an optimistic, limitless future. But we don't do justice to that view-how could we, older mammals on the way to extinction that we are? We try. But then we return to fuss, questioning the ascetic dimension of scientists, their romance with black boxes. And argue for a science of many tongues.

Abstract
Methane activation chemistry, despite being widely reported in literature, remains to date a subject of debate. The challenges in this reaction are not limited to methane activation but extend to stabilization of the intermediate species. The low C-H dissociation energy of intermediates vs. reactants leads to CO2 formation. For selective oxidation, nature presents methane monooxygenase as a benchmark. This enzyme selectively consumes methane by breaking it down into methanol. To assemble an active site similar to monooxygenase, the literature reports Cu-ZSM-5, Fe-ZSM-5, and Cu-MOR, using zeolites and systems like CeO2/Cu2O/Cu. However, the trade-off between methane activation and methanol selectivity remains a challenge. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and spectroscopic studies indicate catalyst reducibility, oxygen mobility, and water as co-feed as primary factors that can assist in enabling higher selectivity. The use of chemical looping can further improve selectivity. However, in all systems, improvements in productivity per cycle are required in order to meet the economical/industrial standards.

Abstract
An iridium aqua complex [IrIII(η5-C5Me5){bpy(COOH)2}(H2O)]2+ under visible light irradiation has been experimentally reported to form an iridium-oxo (Ir-oxo) complex [IrV(η5-C5Me5){bpy(COOH)2}(O)]2+, which oxidizes H2O to O2. However, the mechanism for the formation of this Ir-oxo complex remains unclear, due to the difficulties in observing the unstable Ir-oxo complex and computing light-induced systems having different numbers of electrons. In this study, we perform density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations to investigate more in detail our previously proposed deprotonation and light-induced oxidation reactions composing the formation of the Ir-oxo complex. In particular, we discuss effects of light irradiation and WO3 support on the formation of the Ir-oxo complex. We suggest two distinct mechanisms, that is, direct and indirect for the light-induced oxidation. In the direct mechanism electrons are directly transferred from the occupied π* orbitals of IrIII-OH or IrIV=O• to the conduction band of the WO3 surface, whereas in the indirect mechanism electrons are first excited from the valence band to the conduction band of the WO3 surface due to the UV light, and then the resultant electron hole oxidizes the Ir complex. In the direct mechanism, in particular, we found that the lowest energy of the anode's conduction band determines the adsorption wavelength of the light irradiation, enabling us to predict alternative semiconductor anodes for more efficient formation of the Ir-oxo complex.

Abstract
The reactivity of the cationic metal-carbon cluster FeC4 + towards methane has been studied experimentally using Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and computationally by high-level quantum chemical calculations. At room temperature, FeC4 H+ is formed as the main ionic product, and the experimental findings are substantiated by labeling experiments. According to extensive quantum chemical calculations, the C-H bond activation step proceeds through a radical-based hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) mechanism. This finding is quite unexpected because the initial spin density at the terminal carbon atom of FeC4 + , which serves as the hydrogen acceptor site, is low. However, in the course of forming an encounter complex, an electron from the doubly occupied sp-orbital of the terminal carbon atom of FeC4 + migrates to the singly occupied π*-orbital; the latter is delocalized over the entire carbon chain. Thus, a highly localized spin density is generated in situ at the terminal carbon atom. Consequently, homolytic C-H bond activation occurs without the obligation to pay a considerable energy penalty that is usually required for HAT involving closed-shell acceptor sites. The mechanistic insights provided by this combined experimental/computational study extend the understanding of methane activation by transition-metal carbides and add a new facet to the dizzying mechanistic landscape of hydrogen-atom transfer.

Abstract
The conversion of methane into an easily transportable liquid fuel or chemicals has become a highly sought-after goal spurred by the increasing availability of cheap and abundant natural gas. While utilization of methane for the production of syngas and its subsequent conversion via an indirect route is typical, it is cost-intensive, and alternative direct conversion routes have been investigated actively. One of the most promising directions among these is the low-temperature partial oxidation of methane to methanol over a metal-loaded zeolite, which mimics facile enzymatic chemistry of methane oxidation. Thus mono-, bi-, and trinuclear oxide compounds of iron and copper stabilized on ZSM-5 or mordenite, which are structurally analogous to those found in methane monooxygenases, have demonstrated promising catalytic performances. The two major problems of theses metal-loaded zeolites are low yield to methanol and batch-like non-catalytic reaction systems challenging to extend to an industrial scale. In this mini-review, attention was given to the direct methane oxidation to methanol over copper-loaded zeolite systems. A brief introduction on the catalytic methane direct oxidation routes and current status of the applied metal-containing zeolites including the ones with copper ions are given. Next, by analyzing the extensive experimental and theoretical data available, the consensus among the researchers to achieve the target of high methanol yield is discussed in terms of zeolite topology, active species, and reaction parameters. Finally, the recent efforts on continuous methanol production from the direct methane oxidation aiming for an industrial process are summarized.
