Multimetallic Catalysts in Organic Synthesis

Advances in catalytic asymmetric and non-asymmetric syntheses with transition metal catalysts are reaching a plateau, while certain fields among them have already matured. This book promotes the prospect of a breakthrough in the intelligent use of multimetallic catalysts.

The first book to comprehensively cover this hot topic presents the information hitherto scattered throughout smaller reviews or single book chapters to provide an introduction to this rapidly expanding field. The combination of different metals to create one selective and active catalyst is all set to open the door for many new reactions.

In ten chapters, the international team of expert authors treats asymmetric syntheses, new transformations, and organometallic reactions using homo- and hetero-multimetallic catalysts. Written mainly for advanced researchers, this very timely publication is of significant benefit to organic and organometallic chemists in both academia and industry.
