Short description
Now in its second completely revised and expanded edition. Written by the renowned editors B. Cornils and W. A. Herrmann, this book presents every important aspect of aqueous-phase organometallic catalysis, a method which facilitates separation in an efficient and "green" way.
New chapters (for example "Organic Chemistry in water"), 20% more content and fully updated contributions from by a plethora of international authors make this book a "must-have" for everyone working in this field.

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This overview will be extremely useful for everyone active in this field [...]" Angewandte Chemie
