While C-H oxidation by ruthenium oxo compounds has been broadly applied in organic synthesis, examples of C-H oxidation by metal oxo complexes from the rest of the platinum group are still rare. We survey the preparation and reactivity of these late-transition metal oxo and peroxo complexes in this tutorial review.
