H 2 , O 2 to H 2 O 2 : The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen in water has been made possible by using an iridium(III) complex, [Ir III (Cp*)(4‐(1 H ‐pyrazol‐1‐yl‐κ N 2 )benzoic acid‐κ C 3 )(H 2 O)] 2 SO 4 , 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.
