Transition Metal Sulphides

'Overall, this book gives an up-to-date account of the nature of HDS processes viewed from different areas of chemistry. It will be of great value as a work of reference for the increasing number of organometallic chemists who are developing homogeneous organometallic catalysts for HDS reactions, a research field that is yet to be thoroughly explored.' Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 584 (1999)
