Handbook of Palladium-Catalyzed Organic Reactions gives a synoptic description of the main types of reactions which are catalyzed by palladium as well as the mechanism i.e. the catalytic cycle. They are presented in graphical form while the chemical parameters related to them are presented as tables.
Even though there are books on palladium chemistry which cover the use of palladium complexes as catalysts, none offers the synoptic view that this one does, showing the catalytic cycle of each type of reaction and thus providing the reader with a good understanding of the parameters involved. The scientist can look at the tables in the book from the point of view of the chemical parameters, or the mechanism involved.
Key Features:
1. Begins with explicit instructions from the authors, facilitating use of the Handbook.
2. Details the associated atalytic cycle for each class of reactions.
3. Offers a choice of references, allowing the reader to find the closet example for solving a given problem.
4. 84 types of mechanism covered, plus over 2500 references.
5. Presents graphical abstracts for all reactions described, making it easy to search a type of reaction.
6. Comb-bound for easy reference.
7. Free demo disk included for the Database of Palladium Chemistry.
