Angebote / Angebote:

This multi-volume handbook is the first to cover all questions concerning homogeneous hydrogenation. As such, it presents the catalysts, the scope of their application, mechanistic aspects, asymmetric methods, combinatorials catalysis, recycling methods and industrial examples. In 45 clearly structured chapters, the book includes all hydrogenation reactions catalyzed by soluble transition metal-based catalysts. All authors adopt an applied approach, emphasizing those aspects important for industrial use. With some 2, 000 illustrations and 50 tables, this is a must-have for everyone working in the chemicals and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for graduate students, post-docs and faculty in chemistry. Kees Elsevier is Professor for Molecular Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam. He took up the John van Geuns chair (for 4 years) and was visting professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, and the Universities of Strasbourg and Toulouse (France). He has lately focused on Pd-catalyzed hydrogenations, involving N-ligands and N-heterocyclic carbenes, as well as catalysis involving aggregates (micelles and vesicles) of metallo-amphiphiles. Kees serves on the advisory board of several scientific journals and he is scientific director of the Holland Research School of Molecular Chemistry. He has published more than 180 articles. Hans de Vries is Principal Scientist Homogeneous Catalysis for Fine Chemicals at DSM, a multinational specialty chemicals company. After a PhD from University of Groningen his next carrier steps were a postdoctoral stint at Brandeis University, Waltham, USA with Jim Hendrickson, and an employment at Sandoz in Vienna and in London. Besides he has been appointed professor at the University of Groningen, a visiting industrial professor at the Univeristy of Bristol, and at the Université Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg. His research interests are in the area of asymmetric hydrogenation, combinations of enzymes with transition metal catalysis, and more. He is author of many patents and over 100 publications.
