Ligand Platforms in Homogenous Catalytic Reactions with Metals

Serving as a user's manual for synthetic organic and catalytic chemists, this book guides chemists in the design and choice of ligands to catalyze organic reactions and apply the results for more efficient, green, and practical synthesis. Focuses on the role of ligands in metal complexes that catalyze green organic transformations: a hot topic in the area of organic synthesis and green chemistry Offers a comprehensive resource to help readers design and choose ligands and understand selectivity/reactivity characteristics Addresses a gap by taking novel ligand approaches and including up-to-date discussion on hydrogen transfers and reactions Presents important industrial perspective and provides rational explanations of ligand effects, impacts, and novelty
