- Abstract
Direct conversion of methane with carbon dioxide to value‐added chemicals is attractive but extremely challenging because of the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of both molecules. Herein, the first dinuclear cluster species, RhVO3−, has been designed to mediate the co‐conversion of CH4 and CO2 to oxygenated products, CH3OH and CH2O, in the temperature range of 393–600 K. The resulting cluster ions RhVO3CO− after CH3OH formation can further desorb the [CO] unit to regenerate the RhVO3− cluster, leading to the successful establishment of a catalytic cycle for methanol production from CH4 and CO2 (CH4+CO2→CH3OH+CO). The exceptional activity of Rh‐V dinuclear oxide cluster (RhVO3−) identified herein provides a new mechanism for co‐conversion of two very stable molecules CH4 and CO2.
