This book offers a comprehensive overview of recent theoretical studies
on rhodium-catalyzed C-H functionalization, a topic that has attracted
considerable attention over the years. It includes a brief experimental
history, elementary reactions, and theoretical perspectives and
describes in detail recent advanced computational studies on different
types of Rh-catalyzed C-H functionalization, the underlying mechanisms,
and the origin of regioselectivity in a series of such reactions.
Providing examples shows readers how to use theoretical tools to solve
problems related to mechanisms of organometallic reactions. As such, the
book is an interesting and useful resource for a wide readership in
various fields involving synthetic organic, organometallic, and
catalysis reactions.
