Chapter 1 reports a literature summary of the different ways of cleaving a hydrocarbon C-H bond, mostparticularly methane, with both early and late transition metal complexes. For early transition metals ourattention is focused on three mechanisms: i) the σ-bond metathesis, ii) the α-H abstraction/1,2-CH bond addition and iii) the β-H abstraction/1,3-CH bond addition.Chapter 2 challenges the problem of the activation of a CH bond of methane by a transient η2-cyclopropene complex of niobium. High pressure solution NMR, isotopic labelling studies and kinetic analyses of the degenerate exchange of methane in the methyl complex [TpMe2NbCH3(c-C3H5)(MeCCMe)] (1) are reported. Stoichiometric methane activation by the mesitylene complex [TpMe2Nb(CH...
