ABSTRACT
Recently considerable attention is devoted to the search of conditions in which the insertion of a low-valent Group VIII metal complex into a C-H bond would take place:
I I -C-H + Mn+ ( ) _C_M(n+2)+
(10.52)
by analogy with oxidative addition of molecular hydrogen to such complexes:
H-H + Mn+ ( ) H_M(n+2)+ I H
(10.53)
It should be remembered that activation of C-Hand C-C bonds with supported platinum group catalysts is the basis of many important heterogeneous catalytic processes used in petrochelnical industry.
