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 NH 3 and are essential for the activity in the selective oxidation reaction.
