Springer - Theoretical Aspects of Homogeneous Catalysis Book

Explore the fundamental principles of homogeneous catalysis with this specialized text from Springer. This book examines the applications of Ab Initio Molecular Orbital Theory within the field of catalysis by metal complexes. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding how these processes function in both laboratory settings and industrial environments. Readers will learn about significant industrial applications, including new polymerization processes involving zirconium and related metals. The text covers carbonylation processes using palladium and rhodium, as well as ring opening polymerizations. It also explores the use of enantioselective isomerisation catalysts, such as those used in menthol preparation. For synthetic chemists, this book provides insight into the highly selective homogeneous catalysts that are essential tools for organic compound synthesis. By focusing on the theoretical aspects and practical applications of molecular orbital theory, this volume offers a deep look into the chemical processes that drive modern industrial and laboratory advancements.
