Water has attracted significant attention as an alternative solvent for transition metal-catalyzed reactions because it is non-toxic, non flammable solvent. The use of water as solvent allows simplified procedures for separation of the catalyst from the products and recycling the catalyst. This type of catalysis contributes to the concept of green chemistry. This chapter will focus on old and recent developments in the design and applications of some aqueous phase palladium, rhodium, platinum, and ruthenium reactions which have a great academic and industrial interest.
