Abstract
Organometallic alkane complexes are highly reactive species that have been shown to be key intermediates in the C–H activation of alkanes by transition metal centres. Organometallic alkane complexes were first identified in low temperature matrices over 30 years ago and now sufficiently long-lived examples have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy. We provide a brief overview of the study of these key reactive intermediates and describe recent studies on the characterisation of organometallic alkane complexes and their related C–H activation using fast time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy.
