Chemical transformations via catalytic C–H bond activation have been established as one of the most powerful tools in organic synthetic chemistry. Transition-metal-catalyzed direct functionalization of β-C(sp3)–H bonds of carbonyl compounds has been developed in recent years. This highlight will focus on recent advances in this active area and their mechanisms are also discussed.

Metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) plays an important role in bond activation processes, enabling many chemical and biological catalytic reactions. A recent new mode of activation of chemical bonds involves ligand aromatization–dearomatization processes in pyridine-based pincer complexes in which chemical bonds are broken reversibly across the metal centre and the pincer-ligand arm, leading to new bond-making and -breaking processes, and new catalysis. In this short review, such processes are briefly exemplified in the activation of C–H, H–H, O–H, N–H and B–H bonds, and mechanistic insight is provided. This new bond activation mode has led to the development of various catalytic reactions, mainly based on alcohols and amines, and to a stepwise approach to thermal H 2 and light-induced O 2 liberation from water.

A catalytic ester transfer reaction of aromatic esters with aryl halides/arenols was developed. The present reaction can transfer an ester functional group from certain aromatic esters to haloarenes. This ester transfer reaction involves two oxidative additions­­— one from the C–C bond of the aromatic ester and one from the C–halogen bond of haloarenes— onto a nickel catalyst. The utilization of a Ni/dcypt catalyst capable of cleaving both chemical bonds was a key for the reaction progress. Furthermore, naphthol-based aryl electrophiles were also applicable to the catalytic system via C–O bond activation.

Rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO)3(thf)]2-catalyzed reactions between aromatic imines and either acetylenes or α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds gave indene derivatives in good to excellent yields. These reactions proceed via C-H bond activation, insertion of acetylenes or α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization, and reductive elimination. Indene derivatives were also obtained from aromatic ketones and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of catalytic amounts of the rhenium complex and p-anisidine. Sequential ruthenium-catalyzed hydroamination of aromatic acetylenes with anilines, and rhenium-catalyzed reactions of the formed aromatic ketimines with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds also provided indene derivatives.

Since the theoretical prediction and experimental verification of Charge Concentrations (CCs) in the valence shell of main group elements and transition metals several attempts have been undertaken to understand their origin and relevance in chemistry and physics. In pioneering studies we could demonstrate that these CCs not only influence the geometry of coordination compounds and solids but also serve as controlling parameters for important chemical reactions like the activation of chemical bonds in catalytic reactions [1]. Furthermore, in covalent solids such as transition metal oxides and carbides they appear to signal even subtle electron localization phenomena which might induce metal-to-insulator transitions or effect the onset of superconductivity [2]. The complex interplay between valence shell charge concentrations and chemical properties of molecules and solids will be the central topic of this contribution with the focus on (i) unusual bonding scenarios displayed by solid state compounds [3] and the (ii) control of geometry and bond activation processes in molecules.
