“…The aim of this Perspective is to collect useful information on the recent development of transition-metal-catalyzed C–S bond activation and functionalization to clearly understand the internal reaction feature of C–S bonds. Previously, many transition metals, such as Pt, − Ru, − Rh, − Fe, − Re, Co, − Os, , Ni, Ir, − and Cu, − have been reported to undergo C–S bonds in a stoichiometric manner. These transformations can permeate into the mechanistic aspects of the C–S bond cleavage.…”
