Homogeneous catalysis made easy through real-world examples andillustrations.
The field of homogeneous catalysis has grown dramatically over thepast decade, boasting many new applications in the chemical, finechemical, and pharmaceutical industries. This timely work offers aunified, easy-to-understand treatment of this challenging area ofchemistry. With a practical emphasis and a thorough, selectivesurvey of current literature, the authors present homogeneouscatalytic reactions proven successful in industrialapplications-illustrating both the mechanistic principles andilluminating new areas of academic and industrial research. Anideal self-study guide for inorganic chemists seeking to gain entryinto the field as well as a much-needed reference for industryprofessionals, Homogeneous Catalysis: Mechanisms and IndustrialApplications features:
* Clear discussions of the fundamental chemical and chemicalengineering concepts relevant to homogeneous catalysis
* Important examples from selected industrial processes
* Extensive references to cutting-edge research with applicationpotential (through March of 1999)
* Many tables and more than 100 illustrations to help explaindifficult concepts
* Problems of variable complexities accompanying each chapter
