his new volume presents a compre hensive review of the most modern aspects of homogeneous catalysis, offering a balanced mix of theory and practice. Its 41 chapters are divided into six sections covering • spectroscopy and mechanism
• assymetric induction • C-H activation • carbonylation and synthesis gas conversion
• general functionalization • oligomerization and polymerization ι Also of interest is an examination of new techniques for in situ reaction monitoring. Homogeneous Transition Metal Catalyzed Reactions is valuable reading for catalysis scientists; organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemists; biocatalysis scientists; fine chemicals researchers; and pharmaceutical scientists.
