The initial chapters explain the principles of catalysis and the elementary steps in organometallic catalysis. The book then explores important organometallic-catalyzed reactions, with a focus on mechanism. Current developments are emphasized throughout. Asymmetric synthesis is covered in depth. Finally, the book examines the catalytic behavior of particular metalloenzymes.
A look at nitrogen fixation offers a comparative examination of the three major areas of catalysis - homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic.
In addition to problems, the textbook offers solutions, making the book an invaluable learning tool. It is a must-have for advanced students in chemistry and biochemistry, as well as for inorganic and organic chemists, for those working with organometallics, and for those specializing in catalysis. Its prime objective is to equip young chemists and others to more fully to appreciate, defend and promote the role that chemistry and its practitioners play in moving towards a society better able to control, manage and ameliorate its impact on the ecosphere.
To do this, it is necessary to set the ideas, concepts, achievements and challenges of chemistry and its application in the context of its environmental impact, past, present and future, and of the changes needed to bring about a more sustainable yet equitable world. Progress since is reflected by the inclusion of the latest research and thinking, selected and discussed to put the advances concisely in a much wider setting — historic, scientific, technological, intellectual and societal.
The treatment also examines the complexities and additional challenges arising from public and media attitudes to science and technology and associated controversies and from the difficulties in reconciling environmental protection and global development. While the book stresses the central importance of rigour in the collection and treatment of evidence and reason in decision-making, to ensure that it meets the needs of an extensive community of students, it is broad in scope, rather than deep.
It is, therefore, appropriate for a wide audience, including all practising scientists and technologists. This text explains these new developments in a unified, cogent, andcomprehensible manner while also detailing earlier discoveries andthe fundamentals of homogeneous catalysis. Serving as a self-studyguide for students and all chemists seeking to gain entry into thisfield, it can also be used by experienced researchers from bothacademia and industry for referring to leading state of the artreview articles and patents, and also as a quick self-study manualin an area that is outside their immediate expertise.
Author : Andrew P. Dicks Publisher: Springer ISBN: Category: Science Page: 90 View: Read Now » This contribution to SpringerBriefs in Green Chemistry outlines and discusses the four major green chemistry metrics atom economy, reaction mass efficiency, E factor and process mass intensity , at a level that is comprehensible by upper-level undergraduates. Such students have previously received fundamental training in organic chemistry basics, and are ideally positioned to learn about green chemistry principles, of which metrics is one foundational pillar.

The recent explosion of interdisciplinary research has fragmented the knowledge base surrounding renewable polymers. The Chemistry of Bio-based Polymers 2nd edition brings together, in one volume, the research and work of Professor Johannes Fink, focusing on biopolymers that can be synthesized from renewable polymers.
Various categories of biopolymers are detailed including vinyl-based polymers, acid and lactone polymers, ester and amide polymers, carbohydrate-related polymers and others. The book covers the medical applications of bio-based polymers, concentrating on controlled drug delivery, temporary prostheses, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Professor Fink also addresses renewable resources for fabricating biofuels and argues for localized biorefineries, as biomass feedstocks are more efficiently handled locally.

The updated edition covers the full range of industrial aspects, from catalyst development and testing to process examples and catalyst recycling. But how are green chemistry and catalysis connected? Answers to this question are given in this book by Gadi Rothenberg which is a very readable introduction to catalysis. The first two chapters are an introductory text on the general field of catalysis, clarifying terms and nomenclature and also giving a comprehensive overview of the theoretical basics of catalysis, especially the kinetics.
The short discussion of current textbook literature on catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and biocatalysis at the end of Chapter 1 is certainly very helpful for beginners in the field.
While one can read thick monographs that exclusively deal with kinetics, this short treatise of the subject in Chapter 2 gives a sufficient overview, from where things can be studied more intensively. The text is very readable and informative, with some interspersed historic annotations, which make certain developments easier to understand and bring them into a historic context.
The basic chemistry is clearly explained, and some of the most important industrial applications are presented.
On the other hand, acid—base catalysis and very recent topics like organocatalysis and click chemistry are discussed. The final chapter copes with the development of computational methods in catalysis research.
While this is a comparatively young discipline, which lives up greatly with the advances in computer technology, it has become an indispensable tool in catalysis research. Computational simulations can help to unravel mechanistic details that are often difficult to access experimentally and also to deal with large amounts of data from catalytic experiments.
