20. Nucleophilic addition with fourth-row metal complexes by catalytic C-H activation is still rare. However, there are several examples of the insertion of nonpolar unsaturated molecules initiated by C-H fission with complexes of fourth-row metals, see: a) Co: G. Halbritter, F. Knoch, H. Kisch, J.
