Homogeneous Catalysis: Understanding the Art van Piet W.N.M. van Leeuwen is an English-language textbook that provides insight into homogeneous catalysis. It is aimed at students and professionals in higher education and industry.
This reference work covers the principles and applications of homogeneous catalysis with transition-metal complexes. The book explains the foundational knowledge and discusses current concepts and industrial examples. Topics range from fine and bulk chemicals to polymers and pharmaceutical processes. In addition, techniques, types of reactions, environmental care, and safety aspects are addressed, which are crucial for researchers and practitioners.
Homogeneous Catalysis: Understanding the Art provides a clear overview of theory and practice and encourages understanding of the field within the chemical industry and academia.
This book is thematically connected to topics such as catalysis, chemistry (physical and theoretical), and science.
