Close-Stacking of Iron-Oxo-Based Double-Decker Complex on Graphite Surface Achieved High Catalytic CH4 Oxidation Activity Comparable to that of Methane Monooxygenases

Herein, we report that the close-stacking of a double-decker-type dinuclear iron phthalocyanine complex on a graphite surface is effective for achieving high methane oxidation activity, comparable to those of certain MMOs, in an aqueous solution.
