alkene coordination

What is the Mechanism of Alkene Coordination?

The mechanism usually involves the following steps:
1. Coordination: The alkene coordinates to the metal center, forming a π-complex.
2. Activation: The coordinated alkene is activated by the metal, making it more reactive.
3. Transformation: The activated alkene undergoes the desired chemical transformation (e.g., hydrogenation, polymerization).
4. Release: The product is released from the metal center, regenerating the catalyst for another cycle.
