C–H Activation via Group 8–10 Pincer Complexes: A Mechanistic Approach
C–H bond activation is a crucial synthetic strategy widely utilized in both academic and industrial settings. Due to the strong and kinetically inert nature of the C–H bond, its functionalization typically requires metal-based catalysts. This review highlights the most significant advancements in homogeneously catalyzed reactions using pincer complexes with metals from groups 8–10, capable of promoting challenging C–H activation, published since 2010. In particular, it focuses on C–H bond activation for borylation, isomerization, and dehydrogenation, among other processes, discussing their scope and mechanistic insights.
