Abstract
This chapter gives a summary of four different projects in which the reaction mechanisms of transition metal homogeneously catalyzed reactions have been studied with quantum chemical methods. The geometries of the reacting agents, intermediates and transition states are optimized at the DFT level of theory (B3LYP) using relativistic effective core potentials for the metals and valence basis set of DZ+P quality.
