Theoretical Aspects of Homogeneous Catalysis: Applications of Ab Initio Molecular Orbital Theory

Description

`... the book will fill a gap in organometallic chemistry, it provides a good review for the theoretical chemist and should stimulate the practical chemist and the advanced student. The style of all contributions is clear and easy to read ... The book is recommended to anyone interested in the theoretical understanding of chemical phenomena. It is a book to motivate.' Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie, 195 (1996) ` ... provides a variety of excellent examples of the power of modern theory to investigate and to provide insight into the mechanisms of important reaction mechanisms of relatively complex molecular systems. It illustrates the strength of modern theoretical analysis to deal with real-world chemical reactions and clearly confirms that the gap between theoreticians and experimentalists in this area is rapidly narrowing. I strongly recommend this book to those interested in understanding organometallic catalytic processes.' Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 11 (1997)
