Abstract
Oxophilicity and thiophilicity are widely used concepts with no quantitative definition. In this paper, a simple, generic scale is developed that solves issues with reference states and system dependencies and captures empirically known tendencies toward oxygen. This enables a detailed analysis of the fundamental causes of oxophilicity. Notably, the notion that oxophilicity relates to Lewis acid hardness is invalid. Rather, oxophilicity correlates only modestly and inversely with absolute hardness and more strongly with electronegativity and effective nuclear charge. Since oxygen is highly electronegative, ionic bonding is stronger to metals of low electronegativity. Left-side d-block elements with low effective nuclear charges and electronegativities are thus highly oxophilic, and the f-block elements, not because of their hardness, which is normal, but as a result of the small ionization energies of their outermost valence electrons, can easily transfer electrons to fulfill the electron demands of oxygen. Consistent with empirical experience, the most oxophilic elements are found in the left part of the d block, the lanthanides, and the actinides. The d-block elements differ substantially in oxophilicity, quantifying their different uses in a wide range of chemical reactions; thus, the use of mixed oxo- and thiophilic (i.e., "mesophilic") surfaces and catalysts as a design principle can explain the success of many recent applications. The proposed scale may therefore help to rationalize and improve chemical reactions more effectively than current qualitative considerations of oxophilicity.

Abstract
Organometallic chemistry can be considered as a wide area of knowledge that combines concepts of classic organic chemistry, that is, based essentially on carbon, with molecular inorganic chemistry, especially with coordination compounds. Transition-metal methyl complexes probably represent the simplest and most fundamental way to view how these two major areas of chemistry combine and merge into novel species with intriguing features in terms of reactivity, structure, and bonding. Citing more than 500 bibliographic references, this review aims to offer a concise view of recent advances in the field of transition-metal complexes containing M-CH3 fragments. Taking into account the impressive amount of data that are continuously provided by organometallic chemists in this area, this review is mainly focused on results of the last five years. After a panoramic overview on M-CH3 compounds of Groups 3 to 11, which includes the most recent landmark findings in this area, two further sections are dedicated to methyl-bridged complexes and reactivity.

Abstract
Non-trivial coordination mode of symmetrical NNN ligands with Rh(iii) leads to redox-active NNO-scaffolds via C(sp2)–H oxyfunctionalization at rt, opening an opportunity to juxtapose different redox-active domains.

Abstract
DFT studies are reported of a monomeric iron dialkyl for which oxygen atom insertion into metal-methyl bonds occurs with O2: FeMe2 + O2 → Fe(OMe)2. Computation of the reaction coordinate implicates the intermediacy of Fe(III)-peroxo, Fe(VI)-dioxo, and Fe(IV)-oxo intermediates, connected by O2 oxidative addition and two methyl migration steps. Analysis of the reaction of O2 with d(6)-Fe(Me)2 indicates that oxy-insertion for this iron complex occurs with lower free energy barriers than competing homolytic/radical pathways, exploiting "spin-flip" processes via minimum energy crossing points (MECPs).
