Homogeneous Catalysis Summary

Homogeneous Catalysis: Understanding the Art by Piet W.N.M. van Leeuwen

No available as softcover

No other book available that gives insight into so many reactions of importance, while the field of homogeneous catalysis is becoming more and more important to organic chemists, industrial chemists, and academia.

Gives real insight in the many new and old reactions of importance, based on the author's extensive experience in both teaching and industrial practice.

Provide background to chemists trained in a different discipline and graduate and masters students who take catalysis as a main or secondary topic.

Homogeneous Catalysis Reviews

From the reviews:

Van Leeuwen deals with the subject thoroughly and logically. He helps to pull together all the various strands, with very accessible sections ... . this is an extremely interesting and useful book for a wide range of practising chemists. It is both an excellent place to start and, for those closer to the subject ... it is a good reference book. (Duncan MacQuarrie, Chemistry World, Vol. 2 (9), September, 2005)
