1. Metalloids are usually included, as non-metallic elements. This book will consider arbitrarily Si and discard B.
2. The exclusion of metal elements from the catalyst structure is not always strictly considered. Catalysts where the metal arguably is not the reaction center ("spectator") such as in metallocenes are discussed, under certain conditions. For an excellent review of this chemistry see: G.C. Fu, Acc. Chem. Res. 2006, 34, 853-860.

119. As defined in Ref. [71]: "There are two aminocatalytic pathways. Iminium catalysis directly utilizes the higher reactivity of the iminium ion in comparison to the carbonyl species and facilitates Knoevenagel-type condensations, cyclo-and nucleophilic additions, and cleavage of s-bonds adjacent to the α-carbon. Enamine catalysis on the other hand involves catalytically generated enamine intermediates that are formed via deprotonation of an iminium ion, and react with various electrophiles or undergo pericyclic reactions."
