## Abstract The active centre of sMMO contains a diiron core ligated by histidine and glutamate residues, which is capable of catalysing a remarkable reaction: the oxidation of methane with O~2~ yielding methanol. This review describes the results of efforts to prepare low‐molecular‐weight analogue
