A Personal View on Important Developments in Homogeneous Catalysis

  • Chapter
Basic Principles in Applied Catalysis

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 75))

Abstract

This chapter represents a personal view on selected important achievements of the past as well as some new developments in homogeneous catalysis, which might be important in the future. Special focus is given on sub-areas of homogeneous catalysis such as carbonylations and transition metal-catalyzed coupling reactions for fine chemicals. It is intended to stimulate the reader’s appetite for more homogeneous catalysis.
