Introduction Transition metals have maintained a central role in the fields of synthesis and catalysis for decades. Owing to their easily accessible and highly variable oxidation states, transition metals have been considered to possess richer chemistry than that of main group metals.1 However, precious (4d and 5d) transition metals have low natural abundance and are expensive, and their extraction is often not environmentally benign.
