Hi

i'm kind off a newbie here, just some noobish questions, any help would be appreciated...


1) In general, why are iridium complexes good for C-H activation applications, i've tried looking around but cant seem to find a definitive answer

2) how do you prevent isomerisation of terminal alkenes to internal alkenes

thanks

Look up the papers of some of the Bergman group.
