The catalyzed conversion of shale gas-derived light hydrocarbons, e.g. methane to methanol, for further application as automotive fuels and/or bulk chemicals is especially attractive in light of improved methods of hydrocarbon extraction. MOF based catalysts have previously been demonstrated to be active for a range of catalytic reactions. In this work we used Cu-NU1000 as a methane-to-methanol oxidation catalyst. In addition to product studies, in-situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic (XAS) experiments are performed under catalytic conditions in order to follow the modification of the Cu-species and directly probe the structure/activity properties of the Cu-NU1000 system. The insights reported herein serve as a first look at metal-organic framework materials as catalysts for methane oxidation and be the basis for development of the subsequent generations of materials.
