Methane oxygenation by O 2 occurred in a two‐phase system comprising perfluorohexane and water under ambient conditions. In their Communication on page 2126 ff., K. Ohkubo and K. Hirose show that the chlorine dioxide radical (ClO 2 • ) acts as an efficient oxidizing agent in the aerobic oxygenation of methane to methanol and formic acid under photoirradiation. The yields of methanol and formic acid were 14% and 85%, respectively.
