This book provides a broad review of concepts, energetics, mechanisms, model systems and practical systems in the C-H activation area. This is an active research area since functionalization of alkenes, which are usually considered relatively inert, offers broad synthetic and practical applications. The focus is on homogeneous metal-based chemistry with an emphasis on mechanism and energetics. A wide context is provided with chapters on superacide/alkane chemistry/gas phase chemistry and biological systems. The book will consider the ideas and principles involved in taking naturally occurring petroleum by-products and making useful products of them.
