Multiphase Homogeneous Catalysis: 2 Volume Set

This long–awaited two–volume handbook is the one–stop reference for everybody working in the field of multiphase catalysis. Covering academic and industrial applications, it will set the standard for future developments.
All editors are top scientists with an industrial or academic background and have put together an international team to present every facet of this fascinating methodology –– including aqueous–phase catalysis, ionic liquids, fluorous–phase chemistry, supercritical solvents, and catalysis with polymer–bound ligands –– in a compact and competent manner.
