Description
This collection of 20 papers and 28 poster abstracts reflects recent developments in the rapidly growing field of acid-base catalysis. Topics highlighted include heterogenuous catalysis in organic synthesis, the structure of active sites and selected catalytic features. Acid base phenomena play vital roles not only in well-known reactions of longstanding such as hydrogenations and oxidations but also in the functioning of adsorbents, sensors and ceramics as well as ion biosciences and biotechnology. Thus, this book provides an insight into the fundamentals of acid-base catalysis, important not only for scientists engaged in catalysis, surface chemistry and organic synthesis but also for research in various other peripheral fields.
