(Chemical Equation Presented) Remarkable selectivity (88% in the steady-state reaction and 94% in the pulse reaction) is observed in the direct synthesis of phenol from benzene with molecular oxygen over a Re/zeolite catalyst prepared by chemical-vapor deposition. The novel interstitial-N/Re clusters are formed with NH3 and are essential for the activity in the selective oxidation reaction. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
