Beschreibung

Over the last decade, the area of homogeneous catalysis with transition metal has grown in great scientific interest and technological promise, with research in this area earning three Nobel Prizes and filing thousands of patents relating to metallocene and non-metallocene single site catalysts, asymmetric catalysis, carbon-carbon bond forming metathesis and cross coupling reactions. This text explains these new developments in a unified, cogent, and comprehensible manner while also detailing earlier discoveries and the fundamentals of homogeneous catalysis. Serving as a self-study guide for students and all chemists seeking to gain entry into this field, it can also be used by experienced researchers from both academia and industry for referring to leading state of the art review articles and patents, and also as a quick self-study manual in an area that is outside their immediate expertise. The book features: * Topics including renewable feed stocks (biofuel, glycerol), carbon dioxide based processes (polycarbonates), fluorous solvents, ionic liquid, hydroformylation, polymerization, oxidation, asymmetric catalysis, and more * Basic principles of organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, and relevant technological issues * Problems and answers, industrial applications (case studies), and examples from proven industrial processes with clear discussions on environmental and techno-commercial issues * Extensive references to cutting edge research with application potential and leading patents * Tables and illustrations to help explain difficult concepts

Preface

In the preface to the first edition of this book published in 2000, we said “Industrial applications of homogeneous catalysis are proven, and a much wider application in the future is anticipated.” Growth in the area of homogeneous catalysis with transition metal over the last 12 years has been phenomenal, and the innumerable number of patent applications and successful commercialization of selected processes in sectors as diverse as bulk chemicals, specialty polymers, and pharmaceutical intermediates have validated our anticipation.

This new edition has been comprehensibly revised and reorganized, with new drawings and new information. The problems given at the end of each chapter and bibliography are also new and, unlike the earlier edition, a few selected representative patents are included in the bibliography. Because of the spectacular advances in the application of spectroscopy and computational methods in mechanistic studies, a new chapter solely devoted to such studies has been added in the revised edition. A deliberate attempt has been made to keep the book at a manageable size. To achieve this, and based on student feedback, some of the outdated information of the earlier edition has been removed.

The philosophy behind the revised edition however, remains unchanged. The revision has been carried out from a pedagogical point of view to highlight the synergy that exists between path breaking academic research and significant industrial applications of organometallic chemistry. After all, three Nobel Prizes in the first decade of this century in chemistry were awarded for academic research in this area. Finally, many people have helped in various ways in the preparation of the revised edition. Sumit Bhaduri gratefully acknowledges invitations from Northwestern University over the last several years for teaching a course on homogeneous catalysis that made the revision a practical proposition.
