Reactions of cyclometalated compounds are numerous. This account is focused on one of such reactions, the exchange of cyclometalated ligands, a reaction between a cyclometalated compound and an incoming ligand that replaces a previously cyclometalated ligand to form a new metalacycle: + H-C*~Z ⇄ + H-C~Y. Originally discovered for PdII complexes with Y/Z = N, P, S, the exchange appeared to be a mechanistically challenging, simple, and convenient routine for the synthesis of cyclopalladated complexes. Over four decades it was expanded to cyclometalated derivatives of platinum, ruthenium, manganese, rhodium, and iridium. The exchange, which is also questionably referred to as transcyclometalation, offers attractive synthetic possibilities and assists in disclosing key mechanistic pathways associated with the C–H bond activation by transition metal complexes and C–M bond cleavage. Both synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the exchange are reviewed and discussed.

Recent advancements in unsymmetrical difunctionalization based on the substitution of two different C–H bonds in one-pot are described. Due to the difficulty of controlling reactivity and selectivity, multi-functionalization via substitution of several C–H bonds to install different functional groups has been limited until recently, in comparison with well-studied functionalization via sequential addition to unsaturated π-bonds. This difunctionalization protocol provides an efficient and rapid approach to a library of structurally complicated target molecules through the formation of multiple C–X bonds with high atom- and step-economy.1 Introduction2 ortho-Selective Functionalization of Two Different C–H Bonds Relative to the Directing Group2.1 Unsymmetrical Difunctionalization with the Introduction of Similar Functional Groups2.2 Unsymmetrical Difunctionalization with the Introduction of Different Functional Groups2.3 ortho-Selective Unsymmetrical Difunctionalization Promoted by Two Different Directing Groups Appearing During the Progress of the Reaction3 ortho/meta-Selective C–H Bond Difunctionalization Relative to the Directing Group4 Sequential Difunctionalization of Fused Aromatic Compounds and Heterocycles5 Summary and Outlook
