TLDR
In this article, a system comprising hydrogen sulphide and iron powder in pyridine containing acetic acid and a little water was used to oxidize adamantane with unusual efficiency.
Abstract
The oxidation of adamantane can be achieved with unusual efficiency using molecular oxygen and a system comprising hydrogen sulphide and iron powder in pyridine containing acetic acid and a little water.

Activation of c-h bonds by metal complexes

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the same alkylhydridoplatinum(IV) complex is the intermediate in the reaction of ethane with platinum(II) σ-complexes.

Selective Intermolecular Carbon-Hydrogen Bond Activation by Synthetic Metal Complexes in Homogeneous Solution

TL;DR: The Holy Grail of C-H activation research is not to find new CH activation reactions but to obtain an understanding of them that will allow the development of reagents capable of selective transformations of C -H bonds into more reactive functionalized molecules as discussed by the authors.

If C-H bonds could talk: selective C-H bond oxidation.

TL;DR: The perspective taken herein will allow C-H oxidation reactions to be more readily incorporated into synthetic planning and to emphasize chemoselectivity imposed by the nature of the substrate.
