Converting methane into more useful and readily transportable compounds has previously required the use of metal-based oxo catalysts, but now sulfur and phosphorus are showing their mettle. The growing concern for energy production with a small carbon footprint has greatly raised the profile of C—H bond activation.

A core problem of the field is the conversion of alkanes to any of a variety of more valuable functionalized products. As an example of an energy application, one such problem is the conversion of natural gas, methane, to a more readily transportable form such as methanol or ethane. Natural gas has a favourable carbon-to-hydrogen ratio relative to oil and coal and thus releases less carbon dioxide per unit energy output, but much natural gas is stranded at remote locations and cannot easily be transported to users because its boiling point is so low.
