The second, updated edition of this successful encyclopedia now with 30% more content totals 4,600 entries and 1,600 cross references on all aspects of bio-, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, as well as on analytical methods, techniques, and industrial processes.
The updated fourth edition of this successful encyclopedia contains 40% more high-quality content from over 300 international experts in four volumes! Comprehensive, succinct, and unrivaled, it includes all the knowledge scientists need on homogeneous, heterogeneous and biochemical catalysis in easy-to-use, compact entries for over 11,000 keywords in alphabetical order. In this way it explains briefly the important terms for every aspect of catalysis, whether biocatalysis, homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, or such related topics as spectroscopy or analytical methods. These also include abbreviations, brief biographic entries of important scientists who have worked in catalysis, trade names, important catalytic processes, named reactions, and other important keywords in the general field of catalysis. To round this work off, many of the keywords are illustrated and include German and French equivalent terms.
Now in its second completely revised and expanded edition. Written by the renowned editors B. Cornils and W. A. Herrmann, this book presents every important aspect of aqueous-phase organometallic catalysis, a method which saves time, waste and money. The large-scale application of this „green“ technology in chemical industry clearly underlines its practical use outside of academia. New chapters (for example „Organic Chemistry in Water“), 20% more content and fully updated contributions from a plethora of international authors make this book a „must-have“ for everyone working in this field. From the reviews of the first edition: „This overview will be extremely useful for everyone active in this field [.]“ Angewandte Chemie „This book is an essential in any chemical research library and I strongly recommend it to all synthetic research and teaching chemists. [.]“ The Alchemist „The editors are to be congratulated on assembling such a wide range of contributors who have described the industrial as well as the academic aspects of the subject.“ [.] Journal of Organometallic Chemistry
