Dehydrogenative Silane Polymerization Ti

Metals catalyze a diverse set of reactions, and it is difficult to make generalizations, but some basic principles can be kept in mind. 

No matter what the metal and what the transformation, remember to label the 

Palladium complexes are versatile and popular catalysts, catalyzing a wide variety of transformations in good yield under mild conditions. Draw mechanisms for the following Pd-catalyzed reactions. 

Many transition metals other than Pd also catalyze organic reactions. Draw mechanisms for the following metal-catalyzed reactions.
