Description: This monograph
is devoted to the activation and various transformations of saturated
hydrocarbons (alkanes), i.e. reactions accompanied by the C-H and C-C bond
cleavage. Alkanes are the main constituents of oil and natural gas, and
consequently are the principal feedstocks for the chemical industry. On the
other hand, these substances are known to be the least reactive organic
compounds. Special attention is paid to the recently found alkane activations
in the presence of metal complexes, which are described in more detail. In
addition to the reactions of saturated hydrocarbons which are the main topic of
this book, the activation of C-H bonds in arenes and even olefins and
acetylenes are considered.
The monograph
will be useful not only for those who are interested in the activation of
alkanes and other hydrocarbons by metal complexes, but also for specialists in
homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, petrochemistry, and organometallic
chemistry. Some parts of the monograph will be of interest for specialists in
inorganic and organic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, biochemistry and even
biology, and also for those who work in the petrochemical industry, industrial
organic synthesis and biotechnology.
