There are two main disciplines in catalysis research -- homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This is due to the fact that the catalyst is either in the same phase (homogeneous catalysis) as the reaction being catalyzed or in a different phase (heterogeneous catalysis). Over …
Over the last decade, the area of homogeneous catalysis with transition metal has grown in great scientific interest and technological promise, with research in this area earning three Nobel Prizes and filing thousands of patents relating to metallocene and non-metallocene singl…
"This book offers a comprehensive overview of different catalytic reactions applied to the activation of chemical bonds. Each of the seven chapters cover key C-X classes where carbon is combined with another element: chlorine, fluorine, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, and ca…
For this text, Jack Li and Gordon Gribble have compiled an array of referenced examples of the use of palladium in heterocyclic chemistry.

Asymmetric Hydrogenation and Transfer Hydrogenation
Asymmetric hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation
"The development of efficient and straightforward methods to obtain chiral compounds is an important and challenging research area in modern synthetic organic chemistry. Especially asymmetric hydrogenation reactions have been investigated extensively in the past decades. This re…
Research on designing new catalytic systems has been one of the most important fields in modern organic chemistry. One reason for this is the predominant contribution of catalysis to the concepts of atom economy and green chemistry in the 21st century. Gold, considered catalytic…
