Description This book concentrates on industrially relevant reactions which are catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous
catalysis by metal complexes is treated jointly with heterogeneous catalysis using metallic and non-metallic solids. In both areas the
high degree of sophistication of spectroscopic techniques and theoretical modelling has led to an enormous increase in our understanding
at the molecular level. This holds for the kinetics of the reactions and the reactivities of the catalysts, as well as for the syntheses
of the catalytic materials. The development of catalysis science since the first edition of this book has necessitated a thorough revision,
including special chapters on biocatalysis, catalyst characterization and adsorption methods. The multidisciplinary nature of catalysis
is reflected in the choice of a novel combination of basic disciplines which will be refreshing and inspiring to readers.
Audience
For teachers, students and other scholars in catalysis.
