Among hydrocarbons, saturated hydrocarbons, alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, hexane etc. Saturated hydrocarbons may be called the "noble gases of organic chemistry" and, if so, the first representative of their family - methane - may be compared with extremely inert helium.

(1983)] on CO hydrogenation and by the present authors [in Asp.Homog.Catal.(Reidel Pu.l984)] on alcohol homologation fully cover the literature up to 1982, here we mainly refer to work done after 1982, and consider the cited reviews as covering the historical development of research in the 1940- 1980 period.

Over the past decade, much research effort has been devoted to the design and synthesis of new reagents and catalysts that can influence carbon-hydrogen bond activation, mainly because of the prospect that C H activation could enable the conversion of cheap and abundant alkanes into valuable functionalized organic compounds.

This volume contains 8 chapters written by leading researchers which together present an overview of di- and mono-oxygenases and their model systems from the point of view of functions, structures and mechanisms.

Looks at ways of tackling the problem of separating reaction products from homogeneous catalytic solutions. This book presents processes that involve low leaching supported catalysts, soluble supports such as polymers and dendrimers and unusual solvents such as water, fluorinated organics, ionic liquids and supercritical fluids.

Presents the quantitative application of quantum chemistry to organometallic reactions. This title deals with key reactions of homogeneous catalysis including oxidative addition, migratory insertions, 2+2 additions, the Wacker reaction, and epoxidation. It provides experimental chemists with an overview of the state of the art in this field.

In the last decade there have been numerous advances in the area of rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation, such as highly selective catalysts of industrial importance, new insights into mechanisms of the reaction, very selective asymmetric catalysts, in situ characterization and application to organic synthesis.

Olefin Upgrading Catalysis by Nitrogen-based Metal Complexes II: State-of-the-art and Perspectives provides a critical review of the state-of-the-art developments in industrially relevant processes connected to efficient and selective olefin upgrading.

About eight years ago, the catalytic carbonylation of organic nitro compounds was a research field developed enough to justify a rather long review on this subject.

Features various catalytic reactions enabled by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), either directly as organocatalysts or as ligands for transition metal catalysts. This book begins with an introductory overview of NHCs and closes with a chapter describing the applications of NHCs in industrial processes.

Photosensitization and photocatalysis refer to processes by which permanent chemical transformations are induced on substrates by radiation to which substrates themselves are transparent. This book provides a survey of progress in this area in catalysis, with emphasis on inorganic complexes and organometallic compounds as the key light aborbers.

Organized to cover the different aspects of the chemistry of hydrogen peroxide, this book includes chapters on activation principles, nucleophilic and electrophilic catalysis with transition metal complexes, and the use of polyoxometalates in reactions with hydrogen peroxide.

The origins of the petrochemical industry can be traced back to the 1920s when simple organic chemicals such as ethanol and isopropanol were first prepared on an industrial scale from by-products (ethylene and propylene) of oil refining.

"Heterocycles from Transition Metal Catalysis: Formation and Functionalization" provides a concise summary of the prominent role of late transition metal (palladium, nickel, copper) catalysed processes in the synthesis and functionalization of heterocyclic systems.

This book highlights key advances that have occurred in the field of olefin conversion in recent years.

Presents a general account of the main principles and applications of homogeneous hydrogenation by transition metal complexes. This book focuses on the mechanisms by which these processes occur, and describes the role of the several complexes of molecular hydrogen. It is intended for researchers working in the fields of homogeneous catalysis.

Over the past 20 years aqueous organometallic catalysis has found applications in small- scale organic synthesis in the laboratory, as well as in the industrial production of chemicals with a combined output close to one million tons per year.

These lectures are concerned with the field of homogeneous transition metal catalysis and its application to the synthesis of organic intermediates and fine chemicals from an academic and industrial viewpoint.

Maitlis - The Organic Chemistry of Palladium, Volumes I, II, Academic Press, 1971 - serve to classify and identify the wide variety of reactions, and access to the vast literature is available through these volumes and more recent reviews, including those of J.
