Catalytic Activation of Small Molecules

Small molecule activation encompasses various catalytic processes which are currently conducted on the industrial scale, such as steam reforming of methane and ammonia synthesis, and which are of tremendous global importance. In addition to this, there are a number of interesting, and potentially societally transformative, target reactions such as the valorisation of carbon dioxide.

Providing a state-of-the-art account of the area of small molecule activation this book brings together some o...
