Direct Synthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide from Hydrogen and Oxygen by Using a Water‐Soluble Iridium Complex and Flavin Mononucleotide

Abstract
H2, O2 to H2O2: The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen in water has been made possible by using an iridium(III) complex, [IrIII(Cp*)(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl-κN2)benzoic acid-κC3)(H2O)]2SO4, and flavin mononucleotide. This method gives hydrogen peroxide with a high turnover number (847) and yield (19.2 %) under normal pressure and at room temperature.
