Abstract
While the initial spin density at the terminal carbon atom of FeC4+ is rather low, in the course of forming an encounter complex with methane, a highly localized spin density is generated in situ. As a consequence, homolytic C−H bond activation occurs without the requirement to pay a considerable energy penalty that is usually required for HAT involving closed-shell acceptor sites. More information can be found in the Full Paper by J. Li, H. Schwarz, et al. on page 12940.
