Aqueous-Phase Organometallic Catalysis: Concepts and Applications

Front Cover
Boy Cornils, Wolfgang A. Herrmann
John Wiley & Sons, 2004 - Science - 750 pages
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
