Catalytic benzene C−H activation toward selective phenol synthesis with O2 remains a stimulating challenge to be tackled. Phenol is currently produced industrially by the three‐steps cumene process in liquid phase, which is energy‐intensive and not environmentally friendly. Hence, there is a strong demand for an alternative gas‐phase single‐path reaction process. This account documents the pivotal confined single metal ion site platform with a sufficiently large coordination sphere in β zeolite pores, which promotes the unprecedented catalysis for the selective benzene hydroxylation with O2 under coexisting NH3 by the new inter‐ligand concerted mechanism. Among alkali and alkaline‐earth metal ions and transition and precious metal ions, single Cs+ and Rb+ sites with ion diameters >0.300 nm in the β pores exhibited good performances for the direct phenol synthesis in a gas‐phase single‐path reaction process. The single Cs+ and Rb+ sites that possess neither significant Lewis acidic−basic property nor redox property, cannot activate benzene, O2, and NH3, respectively, whereas when they coadsorbed together, the reaction of the inter‐coadsorbates on the single alkali‐metal ion site proceeds concertedly (the inter‐ligand concerted mechanism), bringing about the benzene C−H activation toward phenol synthesis. The NH3‐driven benzene C−H activation with O2 was compared to the switchover of the reaction pathways from the deep oxidation to selective oxidation of benzene by coexisting NH3 on Pt6 metallic cluster/β and Ni4O4 oxide cluster/β. The NH3‐driven selective oxidation mechanism observed with the Cs+/β and Rb+/β differs from the traditional redox catalysis (Mars‐van Krevelen) mechanism, simple Langmuir‐Hinshelwood mechanism, and acid−base catalysis mechanism involving clearly defined interaction modes. The present catalysis concept opens a new way for catalytic selective oxidation processes involving direct phenol synthesis.
