Commonly promoted by metal reagents like Raney nickel or poisoned palladium, for 10 points, name this reaction class where the namesake element is used to reduce or oxidize, ultimately being added to another compound.
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is an example of one of these reactions, which proceeds using iron in a water-gas shift reaction. The Bergius process uses molybdenum sulfides to accomplish this process, and the Dobereiner's lamp was the first commercial device to utilize this reaction. One of these reactions  in which a ruthenium-BINAP catalyst facilitates this process on ketones earned its discoverer one half of the 2001 Nobel, and is known as the Noyori asymmetric type. Wilkinson's catalyst is a homogenous catalyst for these reactions, and the opposing reaction to this class of reactions converts saturated fats into trans fats.
