Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Catalysis is truly an interdisciplinary field to which chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers have made seminal contributions. This book aims to address the notably diverse topic of transition-metal catalysis in a single volume. The first half of the book is dedicated to the discrete and atomically precise metal complexes for homogeneous catalysis. Bimetallic, organometallic, and coordination complexes of early, late, and post-transition metals are described. Catalytic hydrogenation, oxidation, and coupling reactions are presented. The second half of the book focuses on three distinct types of nanomaterials: (1) zero- valent metallic nanoparticles, (2) titanium dioxide semiconductors, and (3) the porous coordination polymer known as the metal-organic framework. The chapters illustrate how deeply catalysis is influenced by other disciplines (e.g., coordination chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, computational chemistry, organic synthesis, photochemistry, materials science, environmental chemistry, green chemistry, and renewable energy). Advancements in these areas fuel the rapid growth of catalysis science. This book allows readers to reach a high-level of understanding in catalysis by learning from the perspectives of active practitioners. Unlike a textbook that provides a systematic, comprehensive, and historical education on the general topics of catalysis, this book offers critical case studies on select topics. Substantial emphasis is placed on the structural and fundamental properties that dictate catalyst performance, enabling readers to quickly understand and apply knowledge from cutting-edge studies and applications detailed within. This book can be utilized as a handbook, a textbook or textbook supplement, or a reference to guide future work"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanocatalysis has emerged as a field at the interface between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and offers unique solutions to the demanding requirements for catalyst improvement. Heterogeneous catalysis represents one of the oldest commercial applications of nanoscience and nanoparticles of metals, semiconductors, oxides, and other compounds have been widely used for important chemical reactions. The main focus of this fi eld is the development of well-defined catalysts, which may include both metal nanoparticles and a nanomaterial as the support. These nanocatalysts should display the benefits of both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts, such as high efficiency and selectivity, stability and easy recovery/recycling. The concept of nanocatalysis is outlined in this book and, in particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles. A broad range of topics, from the fundamentals to applications in catalysis, are covered, without excluding micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids, dendrimers, nanotubes, and nanooxides, as well as modeling, and the characterization of nanocatalysts, making it an indispensable reference for both researchers at universities and professionals in industry.

Download or read book Supported Metal Complexes written by F.R. Hartley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now IS years since the first patents in polymer supported metal complex catalysts were taken out. In the early days ion-exchange resins were used to support ionic metal complexes. Soon covalent links were developed, and after an initially slow start there was a period of explosive growth in the mid to late 1970s during which virtually every homogeneous metal complex catalyst ever reported was also studied bound to a support. Both polymers and inorganic oxides were studied as supports, although the great preponderance of workers studied polymeric supports, and of these polystyrene was by far the commonest used. This period served to show that by very careful design polymer-supported metal complex catalysts could have specific advantages over homogeneous metal complex catalysts. However the subject was a complicated one. Merely immobilising a successful metal complex catalyst to a functionalised support rarely yielded other than an inferior version of the catalyst. Amongst the many discouraging results of the 1970s, there were more than enough results that were sufficiently encouraging to demonstrate that, by careful design, supported metal complex catalysts could be prepared in which both the metal complex and the support combined together to produce an active catalyst which, due to the combination of support and complex, had advantages of activity, selectivity and specificity not found in homogeneous catalysts. Thus a new generation of catalysts was being developed.

Download or read book Nanostructured Catalysts written by Susannah L. Scott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent advent of nanotechnology, research and development in the area of nanostructured materials has gained unprecedented prominence. Novel materials with potentially exciting new applications are being discovered at a much higher rate than ever before. Innovative tools to fabricate, manipulate, characterize and evaluate such materials are being developed and expanded. To keep pace with this extremely rapid growth, it is necessary to take a breath from time to time, to critically assess the current knowledge and provide thoughts for future developments. This book represents one of these moments, as a number of prominent scientists in nanostructured materials join forces to provide insightful reviews of their areas of expertise, thus offering an overall picture of the state-- the art of the field. Nanostructured materials designate an increasing number of materials with designed shapes, surfaces, structures, pore systems, etc. Nanostructured materials with modified surfaces include those whose surfaces have been altered via such techniques as grafting and tethering of organic or organometallic species, or through various deposition procedures including electro, electroless and vapor deposition, or simple adsorption. These materials find important applications in catalysis, separation and environmental remediation. Materials with patterned surfaces, which are essential for the optoelectronics industry, constitute another important class of surface-modified nanostructured materials. Other materials are considered nanostructured because of their composition and internal organization.
