Overview
Catalysis underpins most modern industrial organic processes. It has become an essential tool in creating a 'greener' chemical industry by replacing more traditional stoichiometric reactions, which have high energy consumption and high waste production, with mild processes which increasingly resemble Nature's enzymes. Metal-Catalysis in Industrial Organic Processes considers the major areas of the field and discusses the logic of using catalysis in industrial processes. The book provides information on oxidation, hydrogenation, carbonylation, C-C bond formation, metathesis and polymerization processes, as well as on the mechanisms involved. In addition two appendices offer a concise treatment of homogeneous and heterogenous catalysis. Numerous exercises referring to problems of catalytic processes, and research perspectives complete the book. This definitive reference source, written by practising experts in the field, provides detailed and up-to-date information on key aspects of metal catalysis.

Reviews
Catalytic applause <p>Metal-catalysis in industrial organic processes <p>G Paolo Chiusoli and Peter Maitlis <p>Cambridge, UK: Royal Society of Chemistry 2006 ] 328pp ISBN 0854048626 <p>Reviewed by Phil Barnes <p>This volume is a most welcome addition to the literature on the vitally important area of industrial catalysis by metals. It is intended to be an 'advanced general textbook for chemistry students and their teachers ... and researchers in industry and Government laboratories'. The initial section covers the basics of catalysis in industry, extending coverage of the commercial aspects to consideration of the catalytic process itself. This concise but comprehensive introduction sets the scene for a thorough but concise account of the various types of metal-catalysed reactions used by industry. In each case, the historic and commercial backgrounds are outlined and are followed by a description of the chemistry involved and informative observations on its industrial implications. <p>The authors are of course very well known for their work in this field and it comes as no surprise to find that the book is extremely well written and very comprehensive. To cover such an extensive range of processes in a volume of only 290 pages might be thought to risk oversimplification. However, while it is true that each section does not, and cannot, pretend to represent the definitive account of each subject, this is not the aim. The essence is expertly and successfully distilled in such a way as to more than adequately cover the main points and each topic is presented in a manner that will stimulate further forays into the detailed scientific literature. <p>The book provides an excellentbackdrop to the subject and sufficient detail to be invaluable to postgraduate students, postdoctoral workers and their supervisers. It will also appeal strongly to those working in industrial labs who may need to broaden and update their knowledge of the subject as a whole. It is a thoroughly good read and you may gather that I recommend it very highly. <p><br> <p>Chemistry World 2007, 4 (2), 67

I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent textbook to anybody with an interest in catalysis, either from an industrial or academic perspective. -- Platinum Metals Review, 2007, 51 (4), 187-188 (Robin B Bedford) Platinum Metals Review Is relatively compact and handy, but nevertheless covers broad areas of the subject. An interesting survey of metal catalysis as applied in industry. It is didactically well constructed and easy to read, and can be recommended for both students and teachers of organometallic chemistry as a valuable addition to the existing range of standard textbooks. -- Angewandte Chemie International Ed., 2007, 46, 3791-3792 (Lukas J. GooBen) Angewandte Chemie, International Edition It is a textbook that presents its material in concise form together with general analyses of tendencies and principles. I can recommend the book as an interesting introduction into the field of metal-catalyzed industrial processes for readers with a basic back-ground in organic chemistry. The book will also be helpful for the preparation of lectures on industrial chemistry and as a source of application examples for lectures on organometallic, synthetic, and catalytic chemistry. -- Synthesis, 2007, No.13, pp 2064 (Lukas Hintermann) Synthesis
