ISBN: 3527310258 ISBN-13: 9783527310258 Publisher: Wiley-Vch OUR PRICE: $244.10 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: July 2005 Annotation: While chemists using spectroscopic methods need to learn from the specialists, they do not normally read the spectroscopists' original papers. This book provides this very information--summarizing recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of homogeneous catalytic reactions. Adopting a practice-oriented approach, the authors devote the two parts of the book to the most powerful and complementary spectroscopic techniques - NMR and IR spectroscopy - as well as focussing on important industrial applications with regard to the reaction discussed. The book illustrates how each of these techniques have been used to elucidate mechanisms of important industrial reactions. The result is unique in its scope, allowing chemists from different fields to appreciate how these techniques can be applied to solve their specific catalytic problems. The prizewinning editor, Professor Brian Heaton, has been a key player in the field for the last twenty years and has brought together a team of authors to cater for specialists and researchers in industry and academia. |

| Publisher Description: While chemists using spectroscopic methods need to learn from the specialists, they do not normally read the spectroscopists' original papers. This book provides this very information -- summarizing some recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of metallocene polymerization catalysts and the role of NMR spectroscopy in these endeavors. Adopting a real practice-oriented approach, the authors focus on two of the most important spectroscopic techniques with two parts devoted to each of NMR and IR spectroscopy - as well as on important industrial applications with regard to the reaction discussed. Rather than providing a complete and exhaustive review of homogeneous hydrogenation and its detailed mechanisms, the book focuses on the specific spectroscopic techniques and the mechanistic information that has been obtained from their application. The result is unique in its scope, allowing chemists from different fields to learn which techniques can be applied for their specific synthetic problems. The prizewinning editor, Professor Brian Heaton, is the key player in the field, and has brought together here a team of authors to cater for specialists, and researchers in industry and academia. |
