Short description In this comprehensive three-volume work Robert H. Grubbs presents all important aspects of the metathesis reaction.
* The standard work on the topic * The team of authors reads like a "Who's who" of metathesis * Clearly divided into catalyst developments, organic synthesis applications and polymer synthesis * A must-have for every organic and polymer chemist
