Stoichiometric and catalytic transition-metal reactions have attracted great interest for their
many applications in industrial and synthetic processes. Transition-metal reactions are …

Abstract Since 1963, when Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta were jointly awarded the Nobel
Prize for their discoveries of the catalytic polymerization of olefins with Ti-chlorides and Al …

The phenomenon of agostic interactions is reviewed and the nature of the interaction is
revisited. A historical perspective is followed by an overview of experimental techniques …
