Abstract

Quantum mechanical studies on methane CH activation catalyzed by PtCl_2 in concentrated H_2SO_4 and ionic liquid solution show that the effect of the ionic liquid is to enable Shilov-like chemistry in an oxidizing medium, by solvating the otherwise insoluble PtCl_2(s) in H_2SO_4. Other possible mechanisms have been investigated and discarded.
