“…A general overview of transition metal complexes used was recently reported (Scalambra et al, 2019 ) and these include Ru (Lorenzo-Luis et al, 2012 ), Pd (Voronova et al, 2013 ), Rh (Czégéni et al, 2020 ), and Ir (Titova et al, 2017 ). Regarding the reports in the literature on the use of heterogeneous catalysts, they are less numerous, for example, gold clusters on La–Ni mixed oxides (Ishida et al, 2014 ), supported cationic rhodium (I) complex (Sahoo et al, 2012 ), palladium nanoparticles (Maung et al, 2017 ) amorphous copper-zirconium alloy (Martinek et al, 1996 ), PdAg nanoparticles (Moreno et al, 2012 ), and Ru(OH) x /Al 2 O 3 (Kim et al, 2008 ). Some reports show that the selectivity of reaction can be influenced by different factors, namely, solvent (Yamaguchi et al, 2005 ; Hitrik and Sasson, 2018 ).…”
