Organometallics as Catalysts in the Fine Chemical Industry

From the reviews: "'Organometallics as Catalysts in the Fine Chemical Industry', presents the state-of-the-art in the industrial use of organometallic or coordination complexes as catalysts for the production of fine chemicals. ... a helpful source of information for specialists in the field of organometallic catalysis, as well as beginners who have just entered the field or intend to do so. ... this book may also serve as a valuable source of information not only for research purposes, but also for students and colleagues teaching organometallic catalysis."
