Now in its second completely revised and expanded edition. Written by the renowned editors B. Cornils and W. A. Herrmann, this book presents every important aspect of aqueous-phase organometallic catalysis, a method which saves time, waste and money. The large-scale application of this "green" technology in chemical industry clearly underlines its practical use outside of academia.
New chapters (for example "Organic Chemistry in Water"), 20% more content and fully updated contributions from a plethora of international authors make this book a "must-have" for everyone working in this field.

Produktinformation

Homogeneously catalyzed reactions suffer from one big disadvantage: separation of the catalyst from the products is complicated (and expensive) and catalyst recycling is often sub-optimal. This book describes homogeneously catalyzed reations with
a)organometallic complexes as catalysts in
b)aqueous (and other) biphasic systems.

The advantage of this method: One can separate the products (organic phase) from the catalyst (aqueous phase) by simply decanting the mixture. This saves time, money and waste! No wonder that it took only ten years from the first discovery of this method to industrial implementation of a 100 000 t/year plant.

An international authorship contributed to this book and gave first-hand reports on their work. One focus is the hydroformylation process - the first industrial large scale aqueous biphasic catalytic processes.

Katalyse von A wie Ammoniak bis Z wie Zeolith - die einzigartige Enzyklopädie jetzt in der 3., aktualisierten und erweiterten Auflage mit 50% mehr Inhalt in drei Bänden.
Über 200 führende Wissenschaftler haben mitgewirkt, um kompetente Informationen zu über 8000 Stichworten mit 3300 Querverweisen aus allen Bereichen der heterogenen und homogenen Katalyse und der BioKatalyse zusammenzustellen. Dank der übersichtlichen, alphabetischen Gliederung und ca. 20000 Literaturverweise auf die Originalliteratur bietet das Werk den idealen Einstieg in das komplexe Gebiet der Katalyse.
Unentbehrliches Nachschlagewerk auch für den Profi! Denn kaum ein Arbeitsgebiet hat die chemische Forschung derart bestimmt in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten wie die Katalyse. Die Suche nach immer leistungsfähigeren Katalysatoren und die Umstellung klassischer auf katalytische Syntheseverfahren sind dabei nur ein Aspekt. Vielfach wurden die erzielten Fortschritte erst durch Entwicklung spezieller Anlagen und Analysentechniken sowie durch das zunehmende Verständnis der physikalisch-chemischen Grundlagen von katalytischen Reaktionen möglich. Katalytische Prozesse sind aus der modernen Chemie nicht mehr wegzudenken, und kein Chemiker, Biotechnologe oder Chemieingenieur kommt heute ohne solide Grundlagenkenntnisse auf diesem Gebiet aus.

2. Edition 2003

The second, updated edition of this successful encyclopedia now with 30% more content totals 4,600 entries and 1,600 cross references on all aspects of bio-, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, as well as on analytical methods, techniques, and industrial processes.

1. Edition 2000

Catalysis, declare the editors, occurs always and everywhere, is not a separate scientific discipline of limited scope, but rather a cross-linking science that embraces all chemistry and biology indeed even listeners to Mozart experience catalysis, they claim, though they do not include him in the encyclopedia. Some 165 contributors explain approximately 3,000 terms relating to catalysis in all the fields where it appears as a reference for scholars, teachers, chemists, biological scientists, physicists, and others within and beyond the academic realm. A sampling of topics turns up burst kinetics, covalent catalysis, horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, and non-aqueous ionic liquids. Each term is translated into French and German. The cross-referencing is extensive, and most entries include bibliographic reference.
