Overview
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.

Reviews
From the reviews: <p> The book achieves a good balance between applications of transition metal-based homogeneous catalysis to small-scale organic synthesis and to large-scale industrial processes. a ] nicely illustrates the breadth and impact of catalysis across a diverse range of environments. a ] a useful and informative introduction to transition metal-based homogenous catalysis for researchers new to the field in both academic and industrial environments and would be suitable for use as a textbook for a graduate-level course on homogeneous catalysis. (Ross A. Widenhoefer, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 127(25), 2005) <p> This book, which is directed at graduate student level and above, and towards established chemists who have migrated to the field of homogeneous catalysis a ] covers the major aspects of the title subject, with emphasis on research emanating from the van Leeuwen group. a ] a balanced picture of contemporary homogeneous catalysis has been achieved. a ] Overall, the book is well written and readable a ] . I consider the book to provide an excellent account of contemporary homogeneous catalysis a ] . (Robin Whyman, Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Vol. 19 (8), 2005)
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)
