Book description
This handbook and ready reference brings together all significant
issues of practical importance for interested readers in one single
volume.
While covering homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, the text is
unique in focusing on such important aspects as using different reaction
media, microwave techniques or catalyst recycling. It also provides a
comprehensive treatment of modern-day coupling reactions and emphasizes
those topics that show potential for future development, such as
continuous flow systems, water as a reaction medium, and catalyst
immobilization, among others.
With its inclusion of large-scale applications, this will equally be of
great interest to industrial chemists.
Arpad Molnar is a Professor of Chemistry, Department of Organic
Chemistry, University of Szeged (retired in 2008). He earned his C. Sc.
and D. Sc. degrees from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1979 and
