In the last decade of the 20th century, there have been numerous advances in the area of rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation, such as highly selective catalysts of industrial importance, new insights into mechanisms of the reaction, very selective asymmetric catalysts, in situ characterization and application to organic synthesis. The views on hydroformylation which still prevail have become obsolete in several respects. This text collects these advances together in one place. It contains a series of chapters discussing several rhodium systems arranged according to ligand type, including asymmetric ligands, a chapter on applications in organic chemistry, a chapter on modern processes and separations, and a chapter on catalyst preparation and laboratory techniques. The book concentrates on highlights, rather than a concise review mentioning all articles in just one line. The book aims at an audience of advanced students, experts in the field, and scientists from related fields. The didactic approach should also makes it useful as a guide for an advanced course.

The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry.

This book provides an overview of the latest developments in the field of nanoparticle catalysis. Catalysis with nanoparticles is expanding exponentially and is attracting significant interest due to the many exciting findings being reported.

This new volume “Iridium Catalysts for Organic Reactions” in the series “Topics in Organometallic Chemistry” intends to update several representative well-known reactions and to introduce other less known or new reactions in particular covering sustainability aspects.
