Homogeneous <i>vs.</i> heterogeneous: mechanistic insights into iron group metal-catalyzed reductions from poisoning experiments
Dominik Gärtner, Sebastian Sandl, Axel Jacobi von Wangelin
Abstract
Iron group catalysts constitute a promising alternative to well-established noble metal catalysts in reduction reactions. This review advocates the use of kinetic poisoning experiments to distinguish between homotopic and heterotopic mechanisms.
