About this title

Synopsis:

This first book to illuminate this important aspect of chemical synthesis improves the lifetime of catalysts, thus reducing material and saving energy, costs and waste.
The international panel of expert authors describes the studies that have been conducted concerning the way homogeneous catalysts decompose, and the differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts.
The result is a ready reference for organic, catalytic, polymer and complex chemists, as well as those working in industry and with/on organometallics.

From the Back Cover:

Homogeneous catalysts have now established a vital position in organic synthesis, providing new and shortened routes to a large variety of known and new products. The many industrial applications already realized and those in the pipeline call for more stable catalysts and a better knowledge of their deactivation mechanisms. For the first time, this book addresses these issues explicitly for homogeneous catalysis. As the cover indicates, can the homogeneous catalyst be regenerated and arise as a Phoenix from its ashes or, as with the decomposed Grubbs catalyst shown, can it be used in a tandem reaction for the next catalytic step?
The book has been written by two leading experts in the field and is intended for all industrial and academic chemists using homogeneous catalysts. The book deals with activation, incubation, deactivation and reactivation of the most important organometallic homogeneous catalysts, including those used in olefin polymerization, and is a must-have for organic chemists, organometallic chemists and polymer chemists involved in catalysis.
