Abstract
The value of an industrial product is generally determined by: a) cost to manufacture it, b) safety of process and/or product, c) environmental acceptance and compatibility. Regarding the chemical industry, the selectivity of a reaction is often the key feature in obtaining the above targets. This implies that search for selectivity provides a great challenge to the chemical industry necessitating substantial research and development efforts. In aiming at selectivity, catalysis plays an important role. In the last decades, homogeneous transition metal based catalysts have emerged as especially promising in obtaining selectivity.
