Abstract
In recent years it has become evident that many metal-catalyzed reactions proceed via a substrate metal π-complex intermediate. Commercially, the most significant of these include the polymerization of ethylene, the hydroformylation of olefins yielding aldehydes (oxo process), and the air oxidation of ethylene-producing acetaldehyde (Wacker process).
