The base hydrocarbon of natural gas, methane, is one of the most unreactive hydrocarbons in terms of C–H bond dissociation enthalpy, ionization potential, and pKa. A perspective on the C–H activation of this potent greenhouse gas, by homogeneous and well-defined organometallic complexes is presented, with an emphasis on several recent advances in this field.
