Transition metals and their compounds exhibit good catalytic properties. They have proven to be good homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Partly because of their ability to participate in different oxidation-reduction steps of catalytic reactions.
These steps involve changes in the oxidation states of these metal ions. Compounds of Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cr, etc. are used as catalysts in a number of reactions. Their compounds enhance the rate of the chemical reactions.
In homogeneous catalysis reactions, the metal ions participate by forming unstable intermediates. In heterogeneous catalysis reactions on the other hand, the metal provides a surface for the reactants to react
