Why is it important?
Methane is the major constituent of natural gas with unfavorable greenhouse effects. The conversion of methane to more value-added products, such as, ethylene and oxygenates has therefore gained enormous interest. However, it is the most difficult hydrocarbon molecule to convert.
Perspectives
Contributing to this article as a co-author with a knowledgeable computational organic chemist named Dr. Ghambarian was a great pleasure for me. In my personal view, this article is both scientifically and practically important as it addresses a tremendously important subject for the today's human life in a fundamental way.
