Abstract

The development of novel chemical reactions and recuperating the reaction conditions to maximize product selectivity, energy efficiency, and environmental safety remains the main thrust of current chemical research. Hydrocarbons, derived from oil and natural gas, constitute the most inexpensive and readily available feed stocks for chemical industries. Therefore, direct formation of C–C and C–X linkage via carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bond activation of hydrocarbons is of immense ...
