Abstract
A method for functionalizing alkanes, which comprises: (a) combining one or a mixture of alkanes with a photochemically active polyoxometalate compound to obtain a reaction medium; (b) allowing said photochemically active polyoxometalate compound to catalyze homogeneously functionalization of said alkane in the presence of visible or ultr The National Science Foundation (Grant CHE-8402994) & the Petroleum Research Fund (17938-AC3) provided funds used in making this invention.
