Chemical Society Reviews Blog

One of the simplest and most utilised chemical reactions is the burning of hydrocarbons and while combustion is an excellent way to exploit the energy content of this naturally occurring resource, there is a lot more we can do with the ‘inert’ C-H bond.

C-H activation allows us to convert cheaper hydrocarbon starting materials into more valuable and versatile products; leading to the development of a wide range of reagents and catalysts that activate C-H bonds. To keep you up to date with the latest developments in the field we have created this article collection, where all articles are free to download until 15^th December.

Following last month’s announcement about the relaunch of Tutorial Reviews in Chem. Soc. Rev., we are now pleased to have published our first reviews which contain Key Learning Points.

All Tutorial Reviews will now include a ‘Key Learning Points’ box – where authors succinctly highlight what readers should expect to learn from their review.

We hope this allows Tutorial Reviews to be even more accessible to graduate students and beyond; providing an essential introduction to a field and serving as a springboard to further reading. For more information about Chem. Soc. Rev. review articles, including how to submit a proposal, see our Author Guidelines.

Take a look at our new Key Learning Points in the Tutorial Reviews below:
