Short description
Homogeneous catalysis is the success story of organometallic chemistry. The enormous breadth of this topic in research and industry is met by both the editors W. A. Herrmann and B. Cornils, and the approx. 100 internationally renowned contributors. This three volume handbook is beyond common standards.
Now in its second, completely revised and enlarged edition!
