Periodic Reporting for period 4 - ENTANGLED-TM-ALKANE (Entangled pincer ligand architectures and their application in the transition-metal-mediated activation of alkanes)

The selective activation of alkanes under mild conditions by well-defined molecular complexes of the transition elements is a frontier challenge, with the potential to revolutionise the way in which we exploit these vast and low-cost chemical feedstocks. The fundamental...
