Challenges in the computational modelling of bimetallic C–H activation processes Mu, Manting Peñas de Frutos, Marconi Nicolás García Melchor, Max Bimetal lic reagents fea tur ing one main-group el e ment and a first-row tran si tion metal cen tre have been the fo cus of ex ten sive re search due to their nu mer ous ap pli ca tions. In par tic u lar, the re gios e lec tive ac ti va tion of C–H bonds us ing bimetal lic com plexes has at tracted sig nif i cant at ten tion be cause of the ubiq ui tous pres ence of these bonds in or ganic com pounds, as well as the mild re ac tion con di tions and good atom econ - omy that these com plexes of fer. How ever, their re ac tiv ity is of ten not well un der - stood, which has prompted den sity func tional the ory (DFT) stud ies to shed light into the un der ly ing mech a nisms. In this chap ter, we re view some of the chal lenges as so ci - ated with the com pu ta tional mod el ling of bimetal lic C–H met al la tion processes (and re lated re ac tions) which may com pro mise the con clu sions drawn from these stud ies. Some il lus tra tive ex am ples are pro vided to high light, for in stance, the of ten-ne - glected ef fects that silent donors and non-in no cent sol vents can have on chem i cal spe ci a tion and lig and scram bling with bimetal lic sys tems, which in ti mately de ter - mine their chem i cal re ac tiv ity.
