An explosion in the use of NHCs has been reported in the literature during the past seven years making this comprehensive overview highly apropos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an introductory overview of NHCs which could have been subtitled \u003ci\u003eall you need to know about NHCs\u003c\/i\u003e. The main body of the book is dedicated to applications of NHCs in catalysis. In addition to the success stories of NHCs in metathesis, NHCs in cross coupling and more recently NHCs in organocatalysis, all other less publicized areas are also covered. As the success of NHCs is generally attributed to their potential to stabilize metal centres, the inclusion of a chapter on the decomposition of NHC catalysts is pertinent. The book closes with a chapter describing the applications of NHCs in industrial processes, which is the first coverage of its kind, and brings a unique industrial context to this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this book:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical aspects of NHCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthetic pathways to NHC precursors, free NHCs and complexes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethods of characterisation of NHCs and related complexes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic properties of NHCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteric properties of NHCs and models for their description\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNHCs for metathesis and cross-coupling reactions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNHCs as organocatalysts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNHC Transition-Metal mediated oxidations, additions to multiple bonds, polymerisation and oligomerisation, cyclisations, direct arylations, reactions involving CO, C-F and C-H bond activation, …\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecomposition of NHC-containing catalysts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial applications involving NHC-containing catalysts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eN-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Transition Metal Catalysis and Organocatalysis\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fresh view of NHCs since most contributors are young emerging researchers in the field of homogeneous catalysis using NHCs. This group of contributors is complemented by highly established academic researchers and an industrialist. This book is comprehensive, from the basic features of NHCs to the latest advances, hence it is suitable for both the novice and the expert.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-12-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400733701\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-90-481-2866-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 340\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50090924572812,"sku":"9789400733701","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400733701.jpg?v=1779506242","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789400733701","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
