Green Chemistry and Catalysis

This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents every important aspect:

? Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods
? Solid-acid and solid-base catalysis
? C-C bond formation reactions
? Biocatalysis
? Asymmetric catalysis
? Novel reaction media like e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical CO2
? Renewable raw materials

Written by Roger A. Sheldon -- without doubt one of the leaders in the field with much experience in academia and industry -- and his co-workers, the result is a unified whole, an indispensable source for every scientist looking to improve catalytic reactions, whether in the college or company lab.
