A journey into metal–carbon bond homolysis

This article surveys the current knowledge in metal alkyl complexes with homolytically weak metal–carbon bonds, therefore prone to thermally produce alkyl radicals. It outlines the role of a metal complex as a moderator to control the radical reactivity (“persistent radical effect”). It describes th...
