Bøger i Catalysis by Metal Complexes serien

Features various catalytic reactions enabled by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), either directly as organocatalysts or as ligands for transition metal catalysts. This book begins with an introductory overview of NHCs and closes with a chapter describing the applications of NHCs in industrial processes.

In the last decade there have been numerous advances in the area of rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation, such as highly selective catalysts of industrial importance, new insights into mechanisms of the reaction, very selective asymmetric catalysts, in situ characterization and application to organic synthesis.
