Organometallic chemistry: C–H activation
Robert G. Bergman1
Abstract
The stability of the chemical bonds in saturated hydrocarbons makes them generally unreactive. But the invention of processes in which carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds in hydrocarbons can be activated is allowing chemists to exploit organic compounds in previously unimaginable ways.
Why is C–H activation such big news?These reactions could revolutionize the chemical industry.
