C-H bond activation in light alkanes: a theoretical perspective.
Alkanes are the major constituents of natural gas and crude oil, the feedstocks for the chemical industry. The efficient and selective activation of C-H bonds can convert abundant and low-cost hydrocarbon feedstocks into value-added products.

Intermolecular Radical C–H Bond Activation: A Powerful Tool for Late Stage Functionalization
The synthesis of complex molecules via radical reactions involving carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds has become a very successful approach. Radical chemistry has long been dominated by the use of tin-based reagents.

Lead-free B-site bimetallic perovskite photocatalyst for efficient benzylic C–H bond activation
Summary: Although bismuth (Bi)-based halide perovskites have attracted profound attention in photocatalysis, the undesirable photophysical properties are not well modulated, and the effect of surface structure on adsorption and activation of reactant ...

Strain Release in CH Bond Activation? [PDF]
What a relief! In 1955 the principle of strain release was put forward to explain the differing reactivity of axial and equitorial alcohols during oxidation. Our findings suggest that this same rationale may account for the differing rates of activation between axial and equitorial C–H bonds in C–H activation processes.

Computational exploration of the reaction mechanism of the Cu+-catalysed synthesis of indoles from N-aryl enaminones [PDF]
We have studied the role of Cu+-phenantroline as a catalyst in the cyclization of N-aryl-enaminones using density-functional theory computations. The catalyst was found to bind the substrate upon deprotonation of its eneaminone, and to dramatically ...
