| Description | Insight into the action of transition metal catalysts |
| Exploitation Route | In the design of more effective catalysts. For a series of related substrates the selectivity can change dependent on the reaction conditions. Hence, assigning a reaction mechanism to these types of reaction based on a single set of conditions can lead to erroneous conclusions. |
