(Ebook) Catalysis without Precious Metals 1st Edition by R Morris Bullock ISBN 9783527323548 3527323546

Written for chemists in industry and academia, this ready reference and handbook summarizes recent progress in the development of new catalysts that do not require precious metals. The research thus presented points the way to how new catalysts may ultimately supplant the use of precious metals in some types of reactions, while highlighting the remaining challenges. An essential companion for organic and catalytic chemists, as well as those working with/on organometallics, and graduate students. * The need to find catalysts that do not rely on precious metals is driven by several reasons. There are substantial costs for both the metal and the recovery and recycling of the metal, some metals are required in impossibly huge amounts and some metals like iron have a minimal environmental and toxicological impact.
