Motivation toward a catalytic cycle for ambient air oxidation of CH4 to CH3OH. (A) The incompatibility of low-valent, electron-rich organometallic compounds for CH4 functionalization with O2-derived oxidants ([O]). (B) The inspirations to address such an incompatibility from examples in biology and (C) the proposed approach reported in this work.
